Abstract
The Secretariat contacted 14 Members in January 2011 providing them with a table listing the
number of otoliths collected on each trip by a vessel flagged to that Member and the observer
responsible for collecting the otoliths on that trip. Members were asked to provide information
on the storage location and number of otoliths aged. Responses were received from 9
Members and no amendments were made to the numbers of otoliths collected. Currently 1405
otoliths that were received from the UK are stored at the Secretariat.
