Abstract
Criteria for distinguishing annuli on the scales of Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus, are described. Evidence is presented that the criteria enable the ages of most Hecate Strait cod to be correctly determined. The method used to validate the scale-reading technique appears to be a new one; it may be applicable to other species.
