N: sample size; L: length (cm); W: weight (g); Min: minimum; Max: maximum; a: intercept; b: slope of the equation; SE: standard error; CI ( b): confidence intervals of b; r 2: coefficient of determination; p: significance of the regression, with p significant at <0.05; K n: relative condition factors. Significance was determined by the t-test to verify if b was significantly different from the consensus ( b = 3). The growth behavior was based on b.
