The Standard Fish Length is a measure from the tip of the snout of the fish to the caudal peduncle (end of the body excluding the caudal/tail fin).


This measure is necessary when, for example, considering the total permitted stock level of your aquarium. Learn more in our article How Many Fish Can I Keep in my Fish Tank?
