title: TABLE 1 in Resurrection of the snailfish genus Allinectes (Teleostei: Cottiformes: Liparidae) for seven North Pacific species, including descriptions of three new species from Alaska

description: TABLE 1. Proportional morphometric and meristic characters of species of Allinectes: A. ectenes, A. curilanus, A. attenuatus, and A. pycnosoma. Morphometric data are given in percent standard length and presented as the range, followed by the mean +/– standard deviation (SD). Data derived from previously published sources (Gilbert and Burke 1912a; Burke 1930; Kido 1985) are indicated with an asterisk. Data not available are indicated with an en dash.
