title: Comparison of otolith and scale readings for age and growth estimation of common dentex Dentex dentex.
abstract: Three methods of age estimation were compared for Dentex dentex. Based on sectioned otoliths, scales appeared to be relevant only up to 5 years and whole otoliths up to 12 years. The maximum estimated age was 36 years, which constitutes to date the oldest age reported.
