The length-to-weight conversions given in the files below were made possible with the generous assistance of scientific institutions and individuals. SASAA acknowledges the contributions of especially the Natal Sharks Board for providing most of the data used for shark species, as well as the Oceanographic Research Institute for providing much of the data for other species. In particular Bruce Mann (ORI) and Sabine Wintner (NSB) are thanked for their generous assistance.
We also acknowledge the assistance of PE Museum, in particular Dr. Matt Dicken, for providing data on Raggedtooth sharks, as well as Dr. Paul Cowley of the Aquatic Biodiversity Institute at Rhodes University for their contributions. Specific references are also included in the spreadsheets below.
