Length-weight relationships of two fish species from the South China Sea

Abstract

The length–weight relationships were determined for two fish species: Kumococius rodericensis (Cuvier, 1829) and Inegocia japonica (Cuvier, 1829). Samples were collected at seasonal surveys in the South China Sea using bottom trawl nets (mesh size 4.0 cm, at a towing speed about three knots) from September 2014 to October 2017. The estimated growth coefficient (b) of these two species ranged from 3.2963–3.2980.
