Abstract

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) and relative condition factor are of great importance in fishery assessment studies since it providesinformation about the growth of the fish, its general wellbeing, and fitness in a marine habitat. This study estimated length-weight relationship and condition factor for whitemouth croaker Micropogonias furnieri captured in Pirambu-SE, northeast from Brazil. A total of 1333 specimens were analyzed, from March 2019 to March 2020. Whitemouth croaker showed negative allometric growth resulting in β1: 2.7697. The condition factor varied between months, such as September and between January and February, demonstrating a possible partial spawning
