Table 1

Parameter estimates of the length–weight relationship for the selected crustacean species in the Gulf of Cadiz: N (sample size), a intercept (CV by bootstrap), b slope (CV by bootstrap) and R coefficient of determination. Lengths are presented for cephalothorax (cm): Lmin minimum observed length, Lmax maximum observed length and mean length (SD), and weights are mean wet weights in g (SD). Depth range (m) is also shown for each species in the study area.
