Increased precision of growth data gained by reading multiple scales from each individual of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
The precision of growth estimates based on fish scales often remains uncertain because of withinindividual variation in scale size and scale patterns, and also due to measurement errors. Based on scale readings of Atlantic salmon, we show that errors decreased with number of times and number of scal...
