*Minimum legal fork length (54") NMFS 2004
| Fork length is measured along the body from the tip of the snout to the fork of the tail. An allometric length-weight equation was used to calculate table above. Different constants were used for each species. Weights of individual fish may vary based on food consumption and body condition. The above chart is for reference purposes only. NOAA data 1996, NMFS-NE-110. |
