Abstract

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) parameters were calculated for 11 lessepsian migrant fish species, Pempheris vanicolensis Cuvier, 1831, Siganus luridus (Rüppell, 1829), Siganus rivulatus Forsskål & Niebuhr, 1775, Saurida undosquamis (Richardson, 1848), Sargocentron rubrum (Forsskål, 1775), Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker,1855), Stephanolepis diaspros Fraser-Brunner, 1940, Etrumeus sadina (Mitchill, 1814), Dussumieria elopsoides Bleeker, 1849, Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789) and Lagocephalus spadiceus (Richardson, 1845). A total of 288 specimens were collected between 2009-2010 fishing seasons by middle trammel nets.
