Using the count and size estimate data collected per diver in each replicate cylinder survey, the body weight of individual fish is calculated using length-to-weight (LW) conversion parameters, and, where necessary, length-length (LL) parameters [e.g., to convert TL to fork length (FL) ...
Using the count and size estimate data collected per diver in each replicate cylinder survey, the body weight of individual fish is calculated using length-to-weight (LW) conversion parameters, and, where necessary, length-length (LL) parameters [e.g., to convert TL to fork length (FL) for...

IBW, initial body weight; FBW, final body weight; WG, weight gain; FCR, feed conversion ratio; FR, feeding rate; SR, survival rate; CF, condition factor; HSI, hepato-somatic index; VSI, viscero-somatic index. 3.2. Whole body composition As shown in Table 4, no significant difference wa...
These fish travel in huge schools and live in the open ocean, ranging from Greenland to North Carolina. The smallest of these herring, 12–17 cm in length, are dressed and canned as sardines, while larger ones are cut into small steaks and packed as ‘fish steaks’ or filleted and smok...
The collected fish samples were placed in an icebox and transported immediately to the laboratory. Fish length (cm) and weight (g) were measured (Table 1). Fish samples were washed with distilled water and dissected. The two sides’ fish fillets were homogenized and prepared for immediate ...
The native fish biomarker responses to effluents are affected by a number of complex factors, such as the age of the individual fish, length/weight ratio, sex, migration pattern, adaptation mechanisms to chronic pollution, and presence of sentinel or endangered species (Catteau et al. 2021). Th...
where lp is the persistence length of DNA, τ is genomic-to-spatial distance conversion factor (nanometers per basepair) and L is the genomic distance separating two loci, for \(l_{\mathrm{p}} \ll \tau L\). τL together represents the contour length along the DNA polymer separating tw...
(2011), who standardised them by body weight (to a 1g animal, and using a standardised b coefficient of 0.58) or shell length (to a 60 mm animal, and using a standardised b coefficient of 1.8). For C. edule, the mean (±2 SE) clearance rate based on body weight was 3.58 (±...
A second step is often done by converting fish size to biomass (weight) by applying a length-weight relationship. While the length-weight regression is generally developed for a specific species assemblage or for a specific dominating species, the conversion from target strength to fish size often...
