Abstract

The relationships between both fish body size versus weight of the otolith, eye lens and liver were studied in Acanthopagrus latus, Therapon theraps, and Pelates quadrilineatus collected from the Khor Al-Zubair area, Iraq. We concluded that it is possible to use the weights of the otolith, eye lens and liver as an age indicator for young individuals of the three fish species in question.
