N = number of fishes sampled; Station = trawl station from where fish/squid were caught; TL = total length (mantle length for squids) in cm (mean ± SD = standard deviation (minimum and maximum range values)); TW = total weight in g (mean ± SD = standard deviation (minimum and maximum range values)); f = female, m = male, u = unknown; NS = not sexed. * Due to small body size, only 1 fish per sample was measured for TL. ** average TW per fish (TW of sample = 91 g/100 fish).
