  abstract = {{A}ge determination for #{D}iagramma pictum$, (n=102), were conducted using three methods. {T}he two first methods are based on the counts of annuli on respectively whole otolith cross sections. {T}he third method use the decrease of otolith daily growth increment ({DGI}) density with age. {T}he growth curves found with the first two methods are comparable and similar to previous results. {H}owever, the analysis of life history traits such as size at first reproduction indicates that these methods are likely to underestimate growth. {T}he use of {DGI} density yields a faster growth curve. {T}o establish this curve the relationships liking fish size to otolith radius and {DGI} density to otolith radius are needed. {T}he final growth curve is particularly sensitive to changes in these previous relationships. {F}or this reason all sizes should be well represented in the sample. {T}his method is not recommended for fish with large seasonal growth variations but could produce good {DGI} measurements for those species which have only a small zone of readible otolith.
