Barramundi are salt and freshwater sportfish, targeted by many. They have large, silver scales, which may become darker or lighter, depending on their environments. Their bodies can reach up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) long, though evidence of them being caught at this size is scarce. The maximum weight is about 60 kg (130 lb).
Allometry is often expressed in terms of a scaling exponent based on body mass, or body length (snout–vent length, total length, etc.). A perfectly allometrically scaling organism would see all volume-based properties change proportionally to the body mass, all surface area-based properties change with mass to the power of 2/3, and all length ...
Body roundness index (BRI) is a calculated geometric index used to quantify an aspect of a person's individual body shape. Based on the principle of body eccentricity, it provides a rapid visual and anthropometric tool for health evaluation. [1] Introduced in 2013, the BRI calculation can be used to estimate total and visceral body fat.
The lungfish can grow to a length of about 150 cm (4.9 ft), and a weight of 43 kg (95 lb). [12] It is commonly found to be about 100 cm (3.3 ft) and 20 kg (44 lb) on average. [9] Both sexes follow similar growth patterns, although the females grow to a slightly larger size. [15] They are covered in slime when taken from the water. [12]
The mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus), also known as mangrove jack, grey snapper, creek red bream, Stuart evader, dog bream, purple sea perch, red bream, red perch, red reef bream, river roman, or rock barramundi (though it is not closely related to bream, jack, or barramundi), is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae.
While similar to the barramundi, it differs in several features. It has a taller and deeper body (averaging a much greater size), longer third dorsal and second anal spines, fewer pectoral fin rays, more scales, and fewer gill rakers. [2] It reaches an officially recorded maximum length of 130 cm (51 in) and a maximum weight of 33 kg (73 lb). [3]
The dorsal fin consists of around 10 spines and 17–19 rays, which greatly aids in stability against turning. The anal fin, which is about half in length of the dorsal fin, consists of around 3 spines, and 9–10 rays. Their brush-like villiform teeth are adequate for eating smaller fish, and have smooth body scales. [10]
Lichas - thumb length. This is a list of units of measurement based on human body parts or the attributes and abilities of humans (anthropometric units). It does not include derived units further unless they are also themselves human-based. These units are thus considered to be human scale and anthropocentric.
