A similar fork with the same name, intended for serving, has three to four tines and is longer at 8 to 10 inches. [3] To distinguish the eating fork from the serving one, the former was sometimes labeled as "individual". [4] Fish forks are used just as normal forks are [5] and can be replaced by a long (7–8 inches (18–20 cm) in length) or ...
Overall length. Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the last vertebra or to the posterior end of the midlateral portion of the hypural plate. This measurement excludes the length of the caudal (tail) fin. [1] Total and fork length of a fish. Total length (TL) is the length of a ...
Average fork length for an adult fish throughout the entire range is about 85 cm (33 in). [12] Some fish may reach a length of 100 cm (39 in) or more, but most commonly they are around 64 cm (25 in). The largest little tunny on record is 120 cm (47 in) and 17 kg (37 lb). [13]

Standard weight equation for largemouth bass [1] and burbot [2] (fish). Standard weight in fish is the typical or expected weight at a given total length for a specific species of fish. Most standard weight equations are for freshwater fish species. Weight-length curves are developed by weighing and measuring samples of fish from the population.
The inspection allegedly uncovered a bluefin tuna with a curved fork length that measured 90 inches. The season for bluefin tuna that have a curved fork length of 73 inches or greater was closed.
