We compiled y-intercept values for the body length–scale radius relationship for 94 population samples of white bass Morone chrysops from 16 states. Various measures of central tendency ranged from 38.0 to 39.5 mm. Based on a precedent for rounding to the nearest 5 mm, we recommend the use of 40 mm as a standard y-intercept value when the Fraser–Lee method is used to back-calculate length at age for white bass.
