Results of Atlantic herring inter-reader precision test using randomly selected samples from the 2007 NEFSC winter survey. (A) Age-bias plot, showing the average age attained by SE versus the ages attained by BJ. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. (B) Age-frequency table, showing each reader's ages. Numbers in the shaded boxes indicate agreement between the two readers. Numbers above this diagonal indicate fish which were given higher ages by SE; those below the shaded boxes were given higher ages by BJ. Total age frequencies are given by age for both readers. (C) Results summary, indicating SE's results relative to each of BJ's ages.
