The purpose of the length field is to tell the keeper what size the fishes can reach in an optimum environment. I agree if it's taken from decription papers, then it's just whatever the largest one was that was collected at that time, but the point there is that this is better than nothing. As we find out more about the species, the length is adjusted.
