Summary

Description Greetings from Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) in Seattle, Washington. Pictured here is one of the largest Shortraker Rockfish ever seen. This Shortraker Rockfish was caught in a commercial fishing net in the Bering Sea in the winter of 2007, then frozen and donated to AFSC for research. The fish weighed in at 62 pounds and was measured at 112 centimeters (44.1 inches). Scientists with the AFSC Age and Growth Lab took otoliths (ear bones) from the fish to determine its age. After viewing the otoliths under a microscope, it was determined that the age of the fish was between 90 to 115 years old. Pictured with the now famous fish are several Science Center staff.
