Spanish term or phrase: estructura de talla
Si se está hablando de la "estructura de talla" de la especie Almeja generosa.

These are geoduck clams, and they are being classified according to characteristics, but what is ESTRUCTURA de talla?

Talla is just size, ¿no es así? But "size structure" makes no sense to me.

Can the talla be some other characteristic than size, which can be said to have a "structure"?
