title: TABLE 3 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 3. Proportional morphometric and meristic characters of three new species of Allinectes: A. istiophorus, A. busbyi, and A. nanstanorum. Morphometric data are given in percent standard length and presented as the range, followed by the mean +/– standard deviation (SD). Data not available are indicated with an en dash.
