The fish sampled ranged in length from 79 to 481 mm (3.16-19.24 in). For this sample of Florida pompano, b = 2.9342 and c = 0.00076. This relationship predicts that a 12-inch (300 mm) pompano will weigh about a pound. Most are less than three pounds when caught, though the largest pompano recorded have weighed 8-9 lb and were 23–25 in long.
