Abstract
Length–weight relationships (LWR) were estimated for six reef species in Chuuk lagoon (Federated States of Micronesia) captured by commercial fishers. Specimens were sampled opportunistically over a period of 2 months between July and September 2014. Relationships include those for four common species not currently reported in FishBase (Caesio teres, Myripristis adusta, Lethrinus erythracanthus, and Chlorurus frontalis), and for two species with relationships based on just one or two samples (Scarus oviceps, and Plectropomus oligacanthus). While estimates for some species are tentative given limited size-range sampling, they still present an improvement in the currently available LWRs.
