Age/length key for Champsocephalus gunnari from South Georgia; Hill Cove survey, January 1990
Abstract: Discrepancy was noted between the age length key and modes in the length distribution ... of Ch. gunnari from the Hill Cove survey around South Georgia in January 1990. A revised age length ... key for this survey is proposed, based on data from a previous survey in the area. The revised age ... length key corresponds well to modes in the length distribution from the survey and to another key ...
