SUMMARY This paper exploits the pattern of missing values in a multivariate otolith-fish length data set to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the age-length distribution. Methodological tools include maximum likelihood estimation, multiple regression, distance measures, and diagnostic graphical procedures. Data from a sample of cutthroat trout are used to illustrate the method and a simulation study is presented to compare alternative methods of estimation.
