Definitions

Total length is the distance between the most anteriorly projecting part of the head (jaws closed) and the most distant tip of the caudal fin. In Europe for measurement the caudal fin has to be spread into a natural position; i.e., the two lobes of fishes with a forked tail fin are not pressed together.
