Chinook Salmon from Idaho have been added to the FishAge website, featuring known-age (3–5) samples from dorsal fin rays collected at Sawtooth, Rapid River, and Clearwater hatcheries. This addition expands our salmonid reference library and supports accurate age determination and training efforts.
FishAge.org has just added a new Lake Trout otolith collection from Lake Ontario—a complete set of sectioned, high-resolution images from known-age fish. Sourced from a study by Osborne et al. (2022), this validated dataset offers an important reference for improving age interpretation accuracy and consistency across labs. Explore the collection, review study findings on precision and bias in Lake Trout aging, and see how accessible, known-age material supports better training and quality control in fisheries research.

Big news from the lab! The Image Database is growing… this time, we’re heading for saltier waters New Additions: Black Drum & Spotted Seatrout The first marine species to join the database are Black Drum and Spotted Seatrout.These specimens were collected off the coast of Georgia and come from tagging
