Quantitative protocols for exploring the optimal measurement points for estimating body length and weight from otolith information using the blackthroat seaperch in the western Sea of Japan

The accuracy of the back-calculation method to estimate past individual growth based on the relationship between otoliths and body length is important. However, limited studies have examined the variation in accuracy by measurement site used for estimation, and little has been done to evaluate its e...
