TABLE 2.

Linear regression model equations of standard length (SL) and gutted weight (W _g) to otolith length (OL), otolith area and otolith width (OW) of Benthosema glaciale individuals collected from frozen individuals during the IESSNS in July 2020 (n = 88).

Regression	Equation	Adjusted r 2	p
SL vs. OL	$\ln \left(O_L\right)=0.87\times \ln \left(\mathit{SL}\right)-2.75$	0.89	< 0.001
W vs. OL	$\ln \left(O_L\right)=0.26\times \ln \left(W\right)+0.57$	0.89	< 0.001
SL vs. OA	$\ln \left(O_A\right)=1.65\times \ln \left(\mathit{SL}\right)-5.72$	0.92	< 0.001
W vs. OA	$\ln \left(O_A\right)=0.50\times \ln \left(W\right)+0.56$	0.91	< 0.001
SL vs. OW	$\ln \left(O_W\right)=0.86\times \ln \left(\mathit{SL}\right)-2.99$	0.90	< 0.001
W vs. OW	$\ln \left(O_W\right)=0.26\times \ln \left(W\right)+0.28$	0.87	< 0.001
