Abstract
Laboratory experiments demonstrated that both alizarin complexone and stron tium are useful in mass marking of pike Esox lucius fry otoliths. Visual de tection of alizarin complexone marks was considered more reliable than the quantitative analysis of strontium for differentiating marked and unmarked individuals after release in a Danish lake.
