The Department lias sampled the reduc- tion fishery landings for both age and size composition of catch. By the end of the 1971-72 season, over 22,000 otoliths had been collected for determining age composition of the catch. There has been a number of anomalous otoliths observed in these collections. Collins and Spratt (1969) described opaque and translucent otoliths, two of the more frequently occurring anomalies. These types have been present through- out the fishery and make up an estimated 5% of all otoliths FIGURE 1. Otolith types from one year old anchovies: A. normal, B. narrow, C. oval.
