Relationships between pre-anal fin length and total length of roughhead grenadier (Macrourus berglax Lacépède
Tail breakage and regeneration in grenadiers has hindered accurate measurement of their total lengths. In 1980, the Scientific Council of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) adopted anal fin length (from the tip of the snout to the base of the first anal fin ray) as the standardized...
