Christmas came early and getting I’m old and lazy and cant remember if I did this one or not, but you can tell the age of most fish by counting the rings in their scales. These growth rings are distinguished by 2 pairs, the summer ones are wider apart while the winter ones are closer together (due to slower growth). Every pair of summer and winter rings marks a year in the fishes life span. [spoiler]for those who care I’ve made into a master’s program for environmental science and will be doing a thesis. I also work two jobs rn and will hopefully be working a 3rd job with NOAA again in the near future.[/spoiler]

	1 ReplyEdited by Cobravert: 12/9/2021 5:57:50 PMCan't the age also be determined by these same type of growth 'rings' from a bone found inside their ears? I thought for sure I saw that on Dirty Jobs.
