FISHERY BULLETIN: VOL. 87, NO. 3, 1989 



Table 2. — Weight-specific growth coefficients (G) from laboratory and field-estimated growth rates of marine fish larvae. Tempera- 

 tures ( T), dry weight ranges, and mid-points of estimated G and Talso are given. Values were taken directly from published results, 

 calculated from the authors' data or calculated from available length-weight relationships.
