ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The goal of this meeting was to advance general knowledge of otolith thermal marking techniques, otolith laboratory specific processes, and research on alternative marking methods.

Here is the program booklet. The program shows a map of the area, the workshop schedule, and presentation abstracts.
