Length-Weight estimate Western Atlantic Blue fin (From the journal Fisheries Sciences):

W (lbs) = 0.00004044 * L (inches*2.54)exp2.837 *1.112 *2.2 (lb/Kg)

The 1.112 is conversion from eviscerated weight to whole weight

For example, 65" = 165.1 cm gives a W = 195 lbs
I can't quite understand how to read this formula but would like to know how it's done? Can it be put any other way? Does the * mean multiply?
