Abstract

Linear equations were developed from morphometric measurements and whole body weight data of moose immobilized in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Measurements included head length, total length and heart girth. All measurements correlated significantly with weight. The highest correlation was girth2 x length; based upon ease and repeatability of measurement head length was found to be a useful field measurement with which to predict body weight.
