In order to find the most suitable parameter for measuring the nereidid Laonereis acuta, correlations between total length or weight and eight morphological measurements: width of prostomium and 2nd, 6th, 13th and 19th setigers, length of the prostomium, length through segment 6th and length through segment 13th, were established. The width measurements showed the highest values of r, and were the most reliable indicators of size. Comparisons between weight and morphological measurements showed a similar pattern as well as negative allometric growth.
