Radiocarbon in otoliths of tropical marine fishes: Reference Δ14C chronology for north Caribbean waters
Reef fishes support important fisheries throughout the Caribbean, but a combination of factors in the tropics makes otolith microstructure difficult to interpret for age estimation. Therefore, validation of ageing methods, via application of Δ14C is a maj...
