Prosomabwidth-to-weight relationships in American horseshoe crabs ( Limulus polyphemusY. examining conversion factors used 
to estimate landings 
Page 238, Equation 1. The y-intercept variable reads “6” and it should read “log e (b).” 
Page 241, Table 3. The third entry horizontally in the boxhead of the table reads “b” and it should read “log e (6).” 
Likewise, “SE ( 6 )” should read “SE[log e (6)].” 
The table should read as follows: 
Table 3 
The number of individuals sampled (n), coefficient values (a, log e (b)), standard errors for values (SE[a], SE[log e (6)]), and 
correlation coefficient (r 2 ) of the relationship between prosomal width and weight for horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus), 
log f (Wt)=log e (PW)xa+log ( ,(6). Samples were collected during the Horseshoe Crab Research Center trawl survey (i.e., inshore 
continental shelf waters between New York and Virginia), spawning surveys (i.e.. New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire), and 
the commercial fishery (i.e., Delaware). All regressions are significant (a=0.05).
