| Popis: | This study evaluated the latitudinal influence on otolith readability through average percent error (APE) assessments and contrast ratios evaluations of the opaque and translucent incremental zones in Micropogonias furnieri otoliths (n = 83) sampled along the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Otolith images show well-structured increments in high latitudes. Contrast ratios increased and APE decreased significantly with latitude, respectively, therefore suggesting that M. furnieri otolith visual quality and growth increment readability increase with latitude. |
