Figure 2 
Uncorrected (A) and corrected (B) standard length determined by using best 
shrinkage correction model, see Table 1) for laboratory-reared walleye pol- 
lock ( Theragra chalcogramma ) larvae subjected to various shrinkage treat- 
ments and preserved in 5% formalin (rc=90). The 95% confidence limits are 
shown for each predicted value, and the diagonal line shows a 1:1 ratio.
