The first use of Fulton's K for assessing and comparing the conditions of inter‐tidal fish populations
Abstract Fulton's K condition factor was applied, for the first time, to inter‐tidal specimens of the shanny ( Lipophrys pholis ) and long‐spined scorpion fish ( Taurulus bubalis ) from two English rocky shore and two Welsh rocky shore sites during summer 2010 and winter 2011. As both species c...
