Results of winter flounder inter-reader precision test using randomly selected samples from the 2007 NEFSC autumn survey. (A) Age-bias plot, showing the average age attained by GT versus the ages attained by JB. 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 GT; those below the shaded boxes were given higher ages by JB. Total age frequencies are given by age for both readers. (C) Results summary, indicating GT's results relative to each of JB's ages.
