WASHINGTON, July 24 -- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued the following news:
In a new project, scientists hope to learn more about age determination and maximum lifespan of Pacific sleeper sharks. Scientists are examining the nuclear core and outer eye lens layers of this species to estimate plausible age ranges. Results of this study may offer valuable information to add to the assessment of the stock populations in Alaska, including estimating natural mort . . .
