My work is unique — I use fish otoliths and nuclear bomb radioactivity from the 1950s and 1960s to understand how long fish can live (http://astrofish.me).
BALTIC SEA & BOMB RADIOCARBON - First complete Baltic Sea bomb-produced radiocarbon chronology and use in testing fish age is released. Otoliths of Baltic herring, sprat, cod, pike, pikeperch provided key discoveries that point follow-up research. OA - doi.org/10.1093/ices...
A complete otolith-based bomb radiocarbon chronology for the Baltic Sea and its use in the age validation of regional fishes
Abstract. A complete bomb radiocarbon (14C) chronology — covering an 80-year period (1938–2018) and reflecting thermonuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s
