| Video Discription | When fish are harvested, scientists can extract their otoliths, or inner ear bones, for physical and chemical analysis. From this tiny calcium carbonate structure, scientists can learn more about how old a fish is, where it was born, and what environments it experienced over its lifetime. This information is critical to fisheries managers, who need data about fish populations to make good decisions about sustainable harvest. In our newest installment of Gulf of Maine, Explained, Fisheries Ecologist Dr. Lisa Kerr explains the importance of otoliths, and how she uses them in her research on Atlantic Bluefin tuna. |
