The otoliths (ear bones) of fish function rather like the middle ear of humans in maintaining balance. They are made up of a complex of protein and calcium carbonate that are laid down at different rates in a process and leave alternating opaque and translucent bands in the otolith, just like the growth rings in a tree. So, just like a tree the age of a fish can be determined by counting the rings in the otoliths.
