A guide only. There can be very wide variations depending upon region and sub-species, of which in some cases can run into several hundred different types sharing the same broad genre. Unfortunately Mistral's research has failed to reveal any one single reliable and definitive source of data. Mistral's compilation should therefore be considered to represent typical examples, most likely to be maximum weight for those fish types as found on a Fishmoger's slab, rather than on the end of a sports fisherman's line.
