Weight–length relationships & Fulton’s condition factors of skipjack tuna

Given the significance of the skipjack tuna to Pacific fisheries, it is important to have a good knowledge of certain parameters of growth and size, as they relate to different stages of fish age and development. Researchers therefore measured certain biological parameters from in different seasons and different growth phases in the Pacific ocean.
