Prawns are brought to the processing factories in deheaded condition. In

composition in population studies, the relation between tail length and total length
and total length and carapace length for male and females of Metapenaeus dobsani,
M. affinis and Frapetieopsis stylifera was calculated. The relationship appears to be
Mnear for the range of sizes examined.
