The students that collaborate in the collection and the AFORO web, carry out work related to studying Teleostean fish otoliths. These studies consist of:
a) Obtaining and preparing the samples for collecting otoliths
b) Obtaining morphometric data (area, weight , perimeter, etc.)
c) Describing the morphology of an otolith and comparing it with other otoliths (using numerical shape descriptors such as Fourier, wavelets, CSS).

To carry out these tasks the students have to familiarise themselves with the techniques of dissection, image analysis and numeric shape quantification. They will also work with computer databases connected to an interface with the AFORO web (shape analysis of otoliths).
