Rhizoprionodon longurio (all classes)

Regression of 11 morphological measurements against PL in all R. longurio individuals recovered five cases of isometric growth and six cases of allometric growth (Table 7). R 2 values varied from 0.54 (KC; Table 7) to 0.96 (LS, FS, PS; Table 7). The measurements LS, FS and PS all showed significant positive allometry, whereas the measurements DW, DL and UL showed significant negative allometry (Fig. 7; Table 7).

Rhizoprionodon longurio (neonates excluded)

Regression of 11 morphological measurements against PL in all R. longurio individuals from Classes Two and Three recovered ten cases of isometric growth and one case of allometric growth (Table 8). R 2 values varied from 0.19 (KC; Table 8) to 0.81 (FS; Table 8). The measurement UL showed significant negative allometry (Fig. 8a; Table 8).
