Chaenocephalus aceratus 



The results of Olsen (1955) for this species at South Georgia are svimraarised in 

 Table 8.17. 



Table 8. 17. Information on length at age for Chaenocephalus aceratus 



Several v;orkers have published equations relating length to total weight for Antai-ctic 

 fish (Table 8.l8). Unfortunately a simple standard equation does not seem to be applicable 

 although all are variations on the simple cubic relationship intuitively expected. 



Table 8.18. Length/v/eij^it relationships for Antarctic fish 



(1) This equation does not fit the results of Dubrovskaya and Makarov (1969) who worked on 

 fish from the same hauls. An approximate conversion ratio based on their results is 

 W - (0.2L)3 



W = Total Wei^t (g) 



L « Total Length (cm) 



L*= Standard Length (cm)
