Chemical Composition of Fish Hard Parts as a Natural Marker of Fish Stocks (2014, background): “One translucent and one opaque band comprise a band pair that is often assumed to represent 1 year of growth (Cailliet et al., 1983; Cailliet and Goldman, 2004).”
A re-examination of the age and growth of sand tiger sharks, Carcharias taurus, in the western North Atlantic: the importance of ageing protocols and use of multiple back-calculation techniques (2006, methodology): “To examine the statistical and biological accuracy of back-calculations relative to vertebral sample data (Goldman 2004; Cailliet and Goldman 2004; Goldman and Musick 2006), we compared several proportional back-calculation methods.”
Age and growth studies of chondrichthyan fishes: the need for consistency in terminology, verification, validation, and growth function fitting (2006, methodology): “validation technique among chondrichthyan age and growth studies (Cailliet and Goldman 2004; Goldman 2004).”
Age under-estimation in New Zealand porbeagle sharks (Lamna nasus): is there an upper limit to ages that can be determined from shark vertebrae? (2007, background): “Deposition of vertebral growth bands has been validated as annual in many shark species (Cailliet and Goldman 2004), and there is only one well documented exception to this rule – the Pacific angel shark (Squatina californica), which appears to have aperiodic deposition (Natanson and Cailliet 1990).”
Validated age and growth estimates for the shortfin mako, Isurus oxyrinchus, in the North Atlantic Ocean (2006, methodology): “Recent advances in the validation of the periodicity of bands using bomb carbon techniques have been used to confirm that bands in this species are deposited annually (Campana et al. 2002; Ardizzone et al. this volume; Cailliet and Goldman 2004).”
Admitting ageing error when fitting growth curves: an example using the von Bertalanffy growth function with random effects (2007, background): “Besides pure application, age and growth studies are also important in describing the basic biology and ecology of fishes (Weatherley and Gill 1987; Cailliet and Goldman 2004).”
