Dear Abad,
Another statistic tool to access the magnitude of the effects of your variables is the analysis of deviance, given in the generalized linear models. In GLM you can use both category and continuous data, and also you can choose distributions other than gaussian, like gamma.
There's an example in Quinn & Deriso 1999 (Quantitative Fish Dymamics). See pages 18 to 25. They check the effects of year, area and depth on CPUE. You can do the same with shell height. In the example they use normal distribution, log link function and all variables are categories. Depending on your data, you can improve this.
I use the program R (www.r-project.org), it's a freeware and runs on different plataforms. If you want I can send you a pdf demostrating how to solve Quinn & Deriso's example in R.
