Equation	R	R ²	N
Fecundity versus size/wet weight
1. log NE = 2.621 + 1.654 log CL	0.897	0.805	48*
2. log NE = 1.672 + 1.271 log TL	0.536	0.288	48*
3. log NE = 3.680 + 0.304 log WW	0.528	0.278	48*
Wet weight versus body size
4. log WW = 0.893 + 1.974 log CL	0.618	0.382	48*
5. log WW = 0.145 + 3.269 log TL	0.796	0.634	48*
