200 year old fish - wow - wonder how they came up with that number.
kind of like a tree, honestly... you could the rings in it's scales. there are other ways but that one is a common method.

Poor fish. Not even safe that far down in your own territory.

Looking at a fishes ring? Sounds like a load of shit to me. Some animals will grow faster than others in the same time frame, things like diet play a large role in this. I don't believe that bigger necessarily means older.

look it up... there are tons of ways to tell a fishes age. scales are one way

Counting the number of annuli (rings) on a scale provides the fish age and the spacing between rings is proportional to the growth of the fish.
here is a guide on how to tell a fishes age by scales

they couldnt have returned it... look at it's eyes, they are bulged out. the pressure change from being pulled up did too much damage to return it. if they had, it would have just died and floated ont he top of the water.

Re: 200-year-old Rockfish Could Be the Oldest and Biggest Ever Caught

exactly. when i was a deckhand, nearly every rockfish we brought up (usually close to 100 fish was the limit for a full boat) had it's air bladder coming out of it's mouth from the pressure. they cant stay upright when that happens and they drown.
Sad but true...
