Abstract
Length–weight relation for eleven demersal fish species in the artisanal shrimp fishery areas from the Bahia Magdalena-Almejas lagoon system, Mexico
Highlights
The length–weight (L–W) relations were estimated for 11 demersal fish species caught in a lagoon system from the Mexican North Pacific—Bahia Magdalena-Almejas, Baja California Sur (B.C.S.)
Samples were collected during 11 surveys from March to August 2014 and from April through December 2015 in the Bahia Magdalena-Almejas lagoon system
Biological surveys were conducted during the closed shrimp fishing season in the sampling stations spread across the shrimp trawling grounds and were the same as those sampled annually by Mexican fisheries authorities (Instituto Nacional de Pesca) to assess the shrimp population and the associated fauna
Summary
The length–weight (L–W) relations were estimated for 11 demersal fish species caught in a lagoon system from the Mexican North Pacific—Bahia Magdalena-Almejas, Baja California Sur (B.C.S.). The results obtained in the presently reported study can be used to derive weight estimates for unweighed but measured fish, and assist in estimating the biomass of important commercial fish species, like Balistes polylepis Steindachner, 1876 and Paralabrax maculatofasciatus (Steindachner, 1868), captured in this important lagoon system.
