Abstract Age was estimated for the Pacific flatnose Antimora microlepis using the operculum, vertebrae, otoliths, scales and pectoral finrays. Otoliths and vertebrae were the only structures that produced recognizable marks considered to be annuli. Annuli counts from these two structures were similar producing ages ranging from 5 to 35 years. These two hard structures may be useful to estimate the age of other deep-sea fishes.

使用不同的硬结构来估计深海鱼类的年龄：太平洋扁鼻鱼的案例研究，Antimora microlepis（Moridae、Gadiformes、Teleostei）

摘要 使用鳃盖、椎骨、耳石、鳞片和胸鳍对太平洋扁鼻安蒂莫拉小鱼的年龄进行了估计。耳石和椎骨是唯一产生被认为是环的可识别标记的结构。来自这两个结构的环环计数相似，生产年龄从 5 到 35 年不等。这两个硬结构可能有助于估计其他深海鱼类的年龄。
