a) Asymptotic weights were estimated using the known age of the samples and the logistic slope from a closely related species. b) Asymptotic weights were obtained by extrapolation to the maximum expected life span when adult growth was linear. c) Asymptotic weights were obtained from the adult logistic growth curve. d) Unreliable age data; asymptotic weights were obtained by assuming largest lens came from adult at 75% of lifespan. PS; present study.
