The [L.sub.s] was measured from the tip of the snout, horizontally, to the posterior tip of the notochord at the hypural plate, while [L.sub.T]was measured from the tip of the snout, horizontally, to the tip of the depressed caudal fin (Hubbs et al.

The following measurements were recorded to the nearest 0.1 mm: standard length (SL--measurement from the tip of the snout to the tip of the notochord or posterior tip of hypural plates); head length (HL --measurement from tip of snout to end of operculum); eye diameter (measurement taken along widest part of eye); snout length (measurement from tip of snout to anterior edge of eye); body depth (vertical measurement taken at the pectoral-fin base); body depth at the anus (vertical measurement taken at the anus); snout to anus length (preanal length); snout to anal-fin origin; and snout to dorsal-fin origin.

Standard length measures the distance from the tip of the longest jaw to the end of the hypural bone or caudal peduncle; however, there has been a debate regarding where the caudal peduncle or hypural bone ends (Howe, 2002).

The SL was measured from the tip of the snout, horizontally, to the posterior tip of the notochord at the hypural plate, while TL was measured from the tip of the snout, horizontally, to the tip of the depressed caudal fin (Hubbs and Lagler 2004).
