without forked caudals. We further refined 

 the data by selecting only those portions of 

 the size series in which the observations were 

 uniformly distributed, by discarding scattered 

 observations at either end of the size range, 

 and by omitting those species for which fewer 

 than five size groups were available. 



Linear regressions were calculated for 

 standard, fork, and total length relations by 

 the method of least squares. The Biometrics 

 Unit, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Bio- 

 logical Laboratory, Seattle, Wash., provided 

 computer services to calculate regressions 

 for species with a sample size of ZS or more. 



and we calcxilated the regressions for the rest 

 of the species. 



LENGTH RELATIONS 



Three tables show the data essential to this 

 paper. Table 1 gives the statistics describing 

 the relations of standard, fork, and total lengths 

 for 82 species of marine fishes from coastal 

 Georgia. Table Z gives the factors for con- 

 verting one length to another, for the size 

 range represented in our sannples. Table 3 

 lists scientific and common names for all 

 species mentioned in this report.
