Tests for sexual dimorphism of swimbladder and muscle morphology of Batrachomoeus trispinosus

Swimbladder measurement d.f. F P
Length

Results from analyses of covariance of swimbladders of males and females, with the fish's standard length as the covariate. Differences in muscle mass were tested with an analysis of variance using the residuals of muscle mass regressed against body size
