Age and growth of longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) in tropical and temperate waters of the central Indo-Pacific (2010, background): “For example, Atlantic bluefin live more than 32 years in the West Atlantic (Neilson and Campana, 2008).”
Fast versus slow growing tuna species: age, growth, and implications for population dynamics and fisheries management (2017, methodology): “The accuracy of the age estimates derived fromAtlantic bluefin tuna otoliths has been validated with bomb radiocarbon dating (Neilson and Campana 2008) and by studying the periodicity of otolith annulus formation (Siskey et al. 2016).”
Updated estimate of the growth curve of Western Atlantic bluefin tuna (2010, methodology): “The curves from Neilson and Campana (2008) and Secor et al. (2008) estimated for the West are also shown in Figure 6. They predict very small mean sizes for the youngest ages. There is increasing interest in assessing the two stocks of Atlantic bluefin with models that incorporate mixing explicitly.”
