Spanish term or phrase: Ictiómetro
Me gustaría saber cuál es el equivalente en inglés para este aparato que se utiliza para medir la longitud total de los peces en acuicultura.

El contexto es un artículo científico sobre un estudio realizado con tilapias en cultivos semi intensivos en Perú. Este aparato se utilizó para medir la longitud total de los peces en un estanque de cemento de manera mensual.

Muchas gracias.

Here's a reference of its use in a British document from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food:

Maybe best to clarify (as they do here) and say "Ichthyometer fish measuring board" ? It's certainly not a common word in either languages, though the Spanish at least has a Wikipedia entry.

  -> Thanks Michele.

agree  Jeffrey Jankowski: Yes, either "fish measuring board" or "measuring board". This is common knowledge for anglers, and one has only to look at Cabela's, Rapala's, etc. online stores, in addition to USFWS web pages, to that this is the preferred choice.
