title: Empirical standard mass equation for Salmo marmoratus.
abstract: Total length (L(T)) (range 24-1000 mm; mean ±S.E. = 170.21 ± 0.36 mm) and mass (W) (range 0.10-9590 g; mean ±S.E. = 76.03 ± 0.87 g) of 36,460 specimens of marble trout Salmo marmoratus were used to compute a standard mass (W(s)) equation for this species by means of the empirical percentile (EmP) method. The EmP W(s) equation calculated was: log(10) W(s) = -5.208 + 3.202 log(10) L(T) - 0.046 (log(10) L(T))(2) (L(T) range 90-570 mm) and it is valid throughout the species' area of distribution across Europe.
