The greatest length from the tip of the nose (with the mouth closed) to the tip end of the tail (with the tail lobes pressed together).
The greatest length measured from the tip of the head (mouth closed) to the extremity of the caudal fin (with the caudal rays squeezed together). Upper jaw length: Measured from the most anterior point of the premaxilla to the most posterior point of the maxilla.
the distance from the anterior tip of the snout to the posterior edge of the tail. In species with a tail extension (such as swordtails) total length is measured without the tail extension, with the tail extension measurement given as well.
When measuring fish, total length is the distance to from the mouth to the tip of the caudal fin, when the mouth is closed and the lobes of the caudal fin are squeezed together.
straight-line measurement from most anterior point to most posterior point of a fish
The length of a fish measured from the front of the jaw which is most anterior to the end of the longest caudal ray when the rays are squeezed together, but excluding the caudal filaments. ( 126) See chart for details.
the overall length of a fish, measured as the distance between the mostforward point of the snout and the mostrearward part of the tail; c.f. fork length.
The internet header field Total Length is the length of the datagram in octets including internet header and data.
The length of a fish as measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tail.
The measurement from the tip of a fishâ€(tm)s snout to the tip of the tail.
(TL) Distance from the tip of the snout along the midline to the posterior edge of the caudal finfold; body length is traditionally expressed as total length in the Japanese literature.
