In fisheries research there is a need to compare vectors of means of continuous random response variables adjusted for concomitant variations of covariables for populations that have unequal regression coefficient and residual covariance matrices. A multivariate procedure that provides an extended comparison of vectors of adjusted means is presented. An example is presented using a real data set. The procedure is quite general and applicable to many other fields of research.
