Length-weight relationships of marine fishes off Yumurtalik coast (Iskenderun Bay), Turkey

Abstract

In this study, length and weight data are presented for 33 fish species inhabiting littoral habitats off the Yumurtalik coast. Samples were collected with combined gill and trammel nets. Parameters of the length-weight relationships were estimated for 14 species. The b values ranged between 2.35 and 3.53. For remained 19 species, the parameter a was estimated by setting b = 3.0.
