Length-weight relationships for 24 fish species in a coastal lagoon of the Mexican South Pacific

Abstract

Summary Length–weight relationships were estimated for 24 species belonging to 16 families of fishes, representing a total of 15 312 measured fish, from the Carretas-Pereyra lagoon, Chiapas, Mexico. Significant length–weight relationships were found for all species. For 13 species, length–weight relationships are published for the first time.
