Length–weight relationships of eight deep‐sea fish species collected from the southwest coast of India.
(Journal of Applied Ichthyology- Jun 2018)
Abstract

Length-weight relationships (LWR) for eight deep-sea fishes belonging to six families collected from the south west coast of India are presented. Specimens were caught by deep-sea shrimp trawls with mesh size 24 mm during 2011 and 2013. The b values ranged from 2.13 to 3.71 and the coefficient of determination (r2) ranged from 0.84 to 0.98. A new standard length maximum was recorded for Neoscopelus microchir. The b values estimated during the present study were compared with the values estimated using models based on Bayesian approach deposited in Fish Base.
