The Length Calculator helps aquaculture professionals and anglers estimate the length of a fish based on its weight and K-Factor. This tool is especially useful for species like Atlantic salmon, trout, and sea trout, where understanding growth patterns and fish health is essential for both sustainable fishing and aquaculture management. By entering the weight of the fish and its K-Factor (a measure of the fish’s condition), the calculator provides an accurate estimate of the fish’s length.
This tool simplifies stock management, growth tracking, and even recreational fishing practices, allowing users to make more informed decisions about their fish populations.
Simply input the fish’s weight (in grams or kilograms) and its K-Factor. The calculator will provide the estimated length of the fish, based on the following formula:
Formula:
Length (cm) = ((100 × Weight (g)) / K-Factor)^(1/3)
This formula gives a reliable estimate of the fish’s length, particularly for salmonids like salmon and trout.
