Beak Microstructure Estimates of the Age, Growth, and Population Structure of Purpleback Flying Squid (<i>Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis</i>) in the Xisha Islands Waters of the South China Sea

This study aimed to explore the feasibility of using an upper beak microstructure to estimate the age of purpleback flying squid (<i>Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis</i>). From these microstructures, the age and growth of squid caught from January to March and May to August in 2018, 2019, and...
