Ages (subsample) and lengths (all fish) for Snapper.

Description

A large sample (approximately fixed sample size per length interval) of Snapper (Pagrus auratus) were aged, with the remainder of the fish just measured for length. Note that age-16 is actually age 16+ and length 60 is for 60-64 cm and 65 is for 65+ cm.

Format

A data frame of 6724 observations on the following 2 variables:

• len: Measured lengths (cm)

• age: Ages assigned
