Weight-Length and Length-Length Relationships of the Endangered Zebra Pleco Hypancistrus zebra (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) from the Xingu River, Amazon, Brazil

Table 3

Length-to-length relationships (LLRs) of the species (all), females only, and males only, based on the equation LOG (TL) = LOG (a) + (b) LOG (SL), where (a) is the intercept and (b) is the angular coefficient. N is the sample size, (TL) is total length in cm, and (SL) is standard length in cm. CL is the confidence limits and R2 is the coefficient of determination.
