  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We developed a standard-weight (W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;) equation for brown trout (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Salmo trutta&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) in lentic habitats by applying the regression-line-percentile technique to samples from 49 populations in North America. The proposed Ws equation is log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;= −5.422 + 3.194 log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;TL, when W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is in grams and TL is total length in millimeters. The English-unit equivalent is log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;= −3.592 + 3.194 log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;TL, when W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;s&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is in pounds and TL is total length in inches. The equation is applicable for fish of 140–750 mm TL. Proposed length-category standards to evaluate fish within populations are: stock, 200 mm (8 in); quality, 300 mm (12 in); preferred, 400 mm (16 in); memorable, 500 mm (20 in); and trophy, 600 mm (24 in).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
