In this study, alcian blue staining technique was used to enhance the visibility of the band on
vertebrae of Lagocephalus sceleratus from Mersin Bay, Turkey, Northeastern Mediterranean. A
total of 77 L. sceleratus samples were captured by commercial purse seine nets at depths between
24 and 50 m from Mersin Bay (Turkey). The total length ranged from 8.9 to 78.4 cm and body
weight varied between 7.59-4750 g for L. sceleratus. Age determinations were carried out using
whole vertebrae. A total of 4 vertebrae from each specimen were read by two independent readers.
All images were taken using a Leica S8APO brand microscope with a high resolution Leica
Application suit (Las V4.8) software. Vertebral images were then enhanced using Adobe
Photoshop CS2 to improve sharpness and clarity. Of all the 77 staining vertebrae were readable
and aged by both readers, resulting in an IAPE of 7.8 %. The maximum age was found as 10+ years
old.
