Consider one red drum that is 400 millimeters long and has a weight of 616 grams. Based on the reference weight-length relationship, a red drum that is 400 mm long is expected to have a weight of 655 grams. The condition index for that fish is its actual weight divided by its expected weight times one hundred percent, or (616g/655g)x100% = 94%.
The relative weight (W r) of an individual fish is its actual weight divided by its standard weight, times 100%. [8] A fish of "normal" weight has a relative weight of 100 percent. The relative weight of a fish does not indicate its health on a continuous scale from 0 -100%, however.

Not much is known about the colossal squid's reproductive cycle, although it does have two distinct sexes. Many species of squid, however, develop sex-specific organs as they age and develop. [ 42 ] The adult female colossal squid has been discovered in much shallower waters, which likely implies that females spawn in shallower waters, rather ...
