Individuals were measured for the morphological traits using electronic callipers (±0.1 mm) for preserved specimens and using Image J software for digital records. Note digital image size calibration occurred using a ruler in images or from size taken in situ. The purpose was to investigate whether external morphometrics could be used to determine sex in handfishes. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[146.879150391, -45.7650630873], [149.647705078, -45.7650630873], [149.647705078, -40.1089917609], [146.879150391, -40.1089917609], [146.879150391, -45.7650630873]]]} 146.879150391 149.647705078 -45.7650630873 -40.1089917609 Brachionichthys hirsutus Thymichthys politus handfish morphology DATA ACCESS - Red and Spotted Handfish morphometrics [direct download] documentDigital XLSX ORCID ID documentDigital HTML ORCID ID documentDigital HTML ORCID ID documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
