hey neil..these are the [otolith bones] they sit in a bulb of fluid where the spine meets the head...they are used for balance in the fish..also counting the rings on them gives their age..if you look into the gill cavity of a jew as well as other fish you will see a bulbous looking base where the spine starts..prise away the outside layers of bone carefully and you will find the otoliths or ear bones..floating in spinal fluid....rick

I suggest you lay the tubes cut open on newspaper and salt heavily both sides..roll them up in the newspaper and put in freezer or similar bags and place in fridge for two or three days..the salt sucks all the moisture out and they should be heaps tougher...also best way of doing pillies...rick
