Fish samples were captured, their body length determined

Fish samples were captured, their body length determined, and converted to percentages. The weights of the fishes were also taken. They were then dissected and a fillet of red muscle was removed from both sides of the fish starting from the caudal peducle to the head, it was also removed from the anterior wedge posterior and anterior locations. The weight of the red muscles extracted was determined and converted to a percentage over the whole weight of the body. The data was extrapolated on the graph using an excel spreadsheet and the following observations were recorded.
