The equation generated by a linear regression is given, with the regression coefficient. B) LDH activity per gram dry weight for the same Anoplopoma fimbria versus forklength. The equation generated by a linear regression is given. Forklength was used rather than body mass because of the greater accuracy in measuring length at sea. Fish caught by FVSLs often retained large quantities of water in their guts, making weight measurements even less reliable. LDH activity versus forklength for 33 fish collected off southern California is plotted in units of activity per gram wet weight and per gram dry weight (Fig. 1). The data encompass the full range of sizes studied and include data on individuals collected at different times of the year. LDH activity per gram wet weight does not correlate strongly with forklength (r = —). However, converting all the LDH activities to units of activity per gram dry weight yields a strong positive correlation between enzyme activity and forklength (y + 325; r == ). Similarly, when expressed in terms of units of activity per gram dry weight, PK activity also scales strongly with body size (Fig. 2). The scatter noted in enzymic activities expressed in terms of gram wet weight of tissue is largely a reflection of variation in water content among specimens; water content of white muscle ranged from 62% to 91%, but showed no systematic.
