Quand on mesure les poissons, chacun est allongé sur la planche avec la tête touchant la butée. Le poisson est redressé afin d'être parallèle à la ligne médiane, et la longueur est notée par un trait de crayon dans l'espace du centimètre où se trouve le bout de la queue ou tout autre point du poisson dont on doit effectuer la mensuration. La distribution des longueurs de l'échantillon est établie en prenant note des longueurs des poissons de cette façon.
