Abstract
This project aimed to determine whether protein layers in the shells of paua could reliably be used to estimate age in paua. There appeared to be a relationship between the number of protein layers in the shell and the age indicated by stable oxygen analyses in many of the shells examined; however, there was no evidence that the protein layers were laid down on an annual basis.
