Age and growth studies of chondrichthyan fishes: the need for consistency in terminology, verification, validation, and growth function fitting (2006, methodology): “Each of the techniques described by Branstetter and Musick (1994), Natanson et al. (1995) and Conrath et al. (2002) calculate relative MIRs because the width of the outermost band pair (or band) is divided by the last fully formed band pair, making the marginal increment proportional to the…”
Maturity and growth characteristics of a commercially exploited stingray, Dasyatis dipterura (2007, methodology): “Additionally, mean monthly marginal increment ratios (MIRs) were used as quantitative assessments (marginal increment analysis) of band deposition following Conrath et al. (2002): MIR=MW /PBW, where MW is the margin width or width of the outer-most forming band and PBW is the width of the penultimat”
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, unknown): “This is a standardized marginal increment analysis whereby the margin, or growth area of a centrum from the last narrow growth ring to the centrum edge, is divided by the width of the last fully formed growth increment (Branstetter and Musick 1994; Conrath et al. 2002; Cailliet et al., this issue)”
