22. The Fish-Ruler – A Success Story for Germany The currently available fish ruler indicates the length at which 90-100 % of individuals of a given species are reproductively mature. It shows also length of individuals without head and length of entire filets. The fish ruler- called “Fisch-O-Meter” - is being produced and distributed by the German consumer protection association in cooperation with the Lighthouse Foundation.
