Feasibility of lead-radium dating the otoliths of blackfin icefish (Chaenocephalus aceratus) and ocellated icefish (Chionodraco rastrospinosus)
Abstract: Application of lead-radium dating was attempted as a feasibility study for otoliths of ... otoliths from these fishes were small and the number of otoliths available low, a whole otolith application ... determining the parameters of future applications that would lead to a validation of age. In the current study ... levels, led to age determinations that had a high margin of uncertainty; however, the findings led to an ...
