Establishing a weight-length baseline for evaluating changes in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacores) body condition in the Western Indian Ocean
Standard weight (Ws) equations were established for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the Western Indian Ocean and used as a baseline for calculating relative weight (Wr) indices. Length-weight data for yellowfin tuna were obtained from the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) for 1984 to 1991 …
