The full study has been attached to this post.

EDIT: Looking at earlier pages in this thread it appears as though these measurements had already been discussed, however, the original table had not been posted, so hopefully this can bring more clarity and details.

Thank you for the information, I already elaborate an investigation about those measurements and the conclution is that while the weights are accurate (and include stomach content), the measurements are a real mess.
