“…Although otoliths were not used, ageing precision results from scales used in this study were similar to other studies of black bass that used otoliths (from 0.04% to 15.8%; Besler, ; Long & Fisher, ; Maceina & Sammons, ; Taylor & Weyl, ; Rude et al., ; Sotola et al., ). By contrast, accuracy of scales from shoal bass in the upper Chattahoochee River basin was poor (57%) compared to what has been reported for otoliths from other black bass species [from 92% to 100% (Buckmeier & Howells, ; Heidinger & Clodfelter, ; Klein et al., ); but see Howells, Betsill and Prentice () who reported accuracy from 39% to 47% for known‐age 6–8‐year‐old largemouth bass].…”

“…For instance, comparative studies favor sagittal otoliths in estimating the ages of Walleyes Sander vitreus (Isermann et al 2003 and references therein), but fin rays are recommended for aging Bluehead Suckers Catostomus discobolus and Flannelmouth Suckers C. latipinnis (Quist et al 2007). In contrast, opercular bones are recommended for aging Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides and Smallmouth Bass M. dolomieu (Sotola et al 2014). Collectively, these studies indicate a need for species-specific assessment of which structure provides the most robust age data for purposes of research and management.…”

“…Although there are doubts about the use of repeatability as a reliable measure of accuracy of age estimates (Beamish & McFarlane, ), this approach is often the only one that is applicable when fish age is unknown, particularly in wild‐caught individuals. Other related measures of aging precision have been widely used ( e.g., average percent error, coefficient of variation, percent agreement between readers; Beamish & Fournier, ; Campana, ; Elzey et al, ; Khan et al, ; Sotola et al, ). However, use of these different approaches has made comparison among different studies difficult (Campana, ).…”

“…To a lesser extent, other structures such as pelvic or dorsal spines (DeFaveri et al, ; Gambling & Reimchen, ; Reimchen, ) and gill covers (Mukhomediarov, ; Patimar et al, ; Yershov & Sukhotin, ) have also been used for aging G. aculeatus . Worryingly, studies conducted in other fish species have shown that there may be large discrepancies in age estimates depending on which structure was used for the analysis (Baudouin et al, ; Elzey et al, ; Hüssy et al, ; Khan et al, ; Sotola et al, ; van der Meulen et al, ; Watkins et al, ; Zhu et al, ; Zymonas & McMahon, ). Two recent G. aculeatus studies have analysed several structures (DeFaveri & Merilä, ; DeFaveri et al, ), but no study has formally compared the age estimates from different structures and their reliability in G. aculeatus .…”
