The reference area population was bimodal with peaks at the 10-15 mm and 46-50 nmi size ranges. In 1992 the modal size of individuals from the constructed flat population had increased with the highest proportion of individuals being 21-25 mm in length (Figure 3-7). Specimens from the reference area population were smaller than previous samples with most specimens being in the 31-35 mm size range. Although too few animals were collected in 1998 to perform size frequency analysis, over half of those found were greater than 50 mm in length (Appendix 1).
