About this converter
Dwarf Fortress tracks body size as volume in cubic centimeters, and flesh weighs about one gram per cubic centimeter. This table ranks 13 Bay 12 Games adult fish sizes on one scale, from Bluefish at 15,000 cm3 to Sturgeon at 1,500,000 cm3. Small rows read Bluefish 15,000, Sea Lamprey 20,000, Spiny Dogfish 30,000, Cod 50,000, and Conger Eel 50,000. Mid rows read Spotted Wobbegong 80,000, Halibut 200,000, and Opah 200,000. Large rows read Blue Shark 300,000, Bluefin Tuna 600,000, Swordfish 650,000, Marlin 800,000, and Sturgeon 1,500,000. One Sturgeon equals one hundred Bluefish by volume. Size sets butcher yield and damage soak.
How to use it
Pick two fish and a unit in the top row, for example Sturgeon and Bluefish with cubic centimeters. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds counts of the first fish, one holds counts of the second, one holds the total volume in the chosen unit. Try 1 Sturgeon against Bluefish to see how many small ocean fish fit one giant river fish by volume. Click any row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Rows use adult max size, with birth and mid sizes in each note where the wiki lists them. Sturgeon grows 10,000 at birth to 300,000 at mid to 1,500,000 at max. Bluefin Tuna grows 60,000 to 200,000 to 600,000. Bluefish grows 1,500 to 5,000 to 15,000. Halibut grows 20,000 to 80,000 to 200,000. Marlin grows 80,000 to 300,000 to 800,000. Opah grows 20,000 to 100,000 to 200,000. Vermin fish at size 200 such as Anchovy, Herring, and Salmon stay out for a clean adult non-vermin comparison. Armor fit uses the same numbers, since gear size follows body volume.
