Proposed standard-weight (Ws) equations for kokanee, golden trout and bull trout
We developed standard-weight (W s ) equations for kokanee (lacustrine Oncorhynchus nerka ), golden trout ( O. aguabonita ), and bull trout ( Salvelinus confluentus ) using the regression-line-percentile technique. The W s equation for kokanee of 120–550 mm TL is log 10 W s = −5.062 + 3.033 log 10 TL, when W s is in grams and TL is total length in millimeters; the English-unit equivalent is log 10 W s = −3.458 + 3.033 log 10 TL, when W s is in pounds and TL is total length in inches. The W s equation for golden trout of 120–530 mm TL is log 10 W s = −5.088 + 3.041 log 10 TL, with the English-unit equivalent being log 10 W s = −3.473 + 3.041 log 10 TL. The W s equation for bull trout of 120–850 mm TL is log 10 W s = −5.327 + 3.115 log 10 TL, with the English-unit equivalent being log 10 W s = −3.608 + 3.115 log 10 TL.
