(g) Figure 2. Histograms of the number of Rifiia /tacliyptila individuals in 5-g size classes: (a) all individuals: (b) individuals weighing less than 10 g. At sea, wet weights of some individuals were estimated by volume displacement in a graduated cylinder and some individuals were frozen to be measured in the laboratory on a Mettler-Toledo (AG345) balance. The remaining individuals were preserved in 10% formalin, and the wet weights of a portion of these individuals were similarly estimated by volume displacement; the rest were measured on the balance. Wet weight was estimated by volume using linear regression (frozen: wet weight (volume) + ;- = P < ; preserved: wet weight = (volume) + r = P < ) (JMP, version , SAS).
