Abstract
The sagittal otolith of Macruronus novaezelandiae (Merlucciidae; Teleo stei) showed cycles of strontium, calcium, nitrogen, carbon and oxygen in proton microprobe traces along both the sulcal to anti-sulcal grow th axis, and the dorso-ventral growth axis of the otolith. The cycles of strontium in the dorso-ventral growth axis had peak-to-peak distanc es similar to those of annual peaks expected from daily microincrement estimates of age.
