Validating Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) scale reading by genetic parent assignment and PIT-tagging

Kjell Rong Utne, Marine Servane Ono Brieuc, Per Tommy Fjeldheim, Kurt Urdal, Gunnel Marie Østborg, Kevin A. Glover, Alison Catherine Harvey, Øystein Skaala

This paper validates Atlantic salmon scale reading using genetic parent assignment and PIT-tagging, finding high accuracy for sea-age but lower for freshwater-age and discrepancies in back-calculated smolt length.
