What is Estimating Manatee Weight via Girth about?

Using morphometric data from 110 healthy Florida manatees, the authors developed a linear regression algorithm to accurately estimate manatee weight based on measurements of girth and length. The most accurate estimator was girth at the umbilicus squared multiplied by straight length and a conversion factor, which estimated weight with less than 2% error compared to actual weights. This algorithm allows biologists and veterinarians to estimate weight without endangering handlers or manatees, expediting heal
