N1  - Includes bibliographical references (p. [142]-165) and indexes; 1. Introduction -- 2. Making a Comparative Osteological Collection of Fish -- 3. Otoliths -- 4. Scales -- 5. Vertebrae -- 6. Comparison of Methods for Estimating Fish Size from Bones -- 7. Some Applications
N2  - A discussion of the general osteology of fishes is followed by individual reviews of a number of key skeletal elements and fish scales, enabling the investigator to identify the animals involved, assess their season of death, estimate their weight, etc. There are numerous examples showing the value of studies such as these to archaeologists, paleontologists, paleo-climatologists, zoogeographers and fisheries workers throughout the world
