What is being measured?
Comparison uses the midpoint of NOAA’s published 2.5–3.5 ft length range. This is a range midpoint, not a measured population mean. NOAA labels this as adult length. The account does not provide measurement endpoints; it is not represented here as a measured carapace standard.
