Length-weight and length-length relationships for some continental fishes of northwestern Baja California, Mexico

Abstract

Summary Length–weight and length–length relationships were estimated for 10 freshwater, estuarine and marine fish species caught at the mouths of coastal sterams from northwestern Baja California (Mexico). The parameter b estimated by nonlinear least squares of weight and length data, ranged from 2.50 to 3.61. Size conversions (calculated total length from standard length) can be used in fishery for understanding several aspects of population dynamics.
