This volume offers a collection of papers on the quantitative assessment
of age and growth in Chondrichthyan fishes. It details new hard parts
for assessments of age, such as caudal thorns; new techniques like bomb
radiocarbon for validation; and reexaminations of previous age and
growth models. It also examines the importance of assessing the
precision and accuracy of statistical formulas, analyses, and models
used in age and growth studies.
