Fourier-transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIRS) has recently been used to reduce the processing time for estimates of annual age in several fish species. The present study represents the first application of this technique to marine organisms from the European waters. Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) from the central Mediterranean Sea was selected for its ecological role, its socioeconomic value, and because its age is regularly estimated by otolith reading under a stereomicroscope for stock assessment purposes. Absorption spectra of the whole otoliths were acquired by FT-NIRS across a multiyear dataset, obtained during acoustic surveys carried out in different regions of the central Mediterranean Sea. The acquired spectra were processed to optimize calibration models to predict age. The best linear models obtained by the optimizing procedure predicted age successfully with a coefficient of determination of 0.95–0.96, mean squared error of 0.5 years, and bias |
