Gut); and sl is the standard length (distance from the tip of snout to
the posterior extremity of the hypurals, the expanded bones at the end
of the backbone that support the caudal fin, in mm) of the specimens.
In the MS, I consider the relationship RNA/DNA to sl to be
biologically irrelevant (due to the very low r2) although
statistically significant. Furthermore, no effect of gut content upon
t...
