Dear Jens,
If I understood well your problem you have an issue with total length of
individuals you measured. I have not much details from your investigations
but my question is: did you consider the length before to perfom your
analysis? I mean, did you correct the head measurments (I suppose t
s and so on) and between swordfishes
cought in different areas.
I searched online but I found very few papers.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you very much
Claudio
