There are other condition indices. Fulton is not particularly accurate. Sex , time of year , spawning condition , location , species and size class among others.

RW and the eyeball test are enough IMO.

Just went back over Wr (relative weight), Kn (relative condition factor) and Fulton in Fisheries Tech 2nd and am even more uncertain. Looks like they all have limitations but do provide useful info.
