BODY MEASUREMENTS IN THE WEAKFISH, CYNOSCION REGAUS. 1 47 



SUMMARY. 



1. in squeteague of both sexes, between the length of 15 and 70 cm., the correla- 

 tion of weight and length is extremely close, as expressed by the coefficient of correlation, 

 r = o.952. 



2. Weight may be accurately expressed by the equation: Weight in gm. = (0.00877) 

 X (length in cm.)^. 



3. Standard length, head length, body length, tail length, width, and depth, are 

 directly proportional to total length. (See statements of tangent measurements, p. 145, 

 and fig. 4.) 



4. From the curves in figure 4 the growth of these parts relative to total length is 

 readily calculated. 



5. Weight, as a function of total length, width, and depth, is expressed by the 

 equation: Weight= (0.5513) (length) (width) (depth).
