Length-Weight Relationships of 22 commercial fish from Margarita Island, Venezuela
Journal Title: Journal of Research in Biology - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Length-Weight Relaonships (LWR) were calculated for 22 commercial fish species caught by the arsanal fishing fleet of Margarita Island, Venezuela. A total of 1,610 specimens were analysed, distributed in the following species: Lagocephalus laevigatus, Sphyraena guachancho, S. barracuda, Lutjanus purpureus, L. analis, L. griseus, Rhomboplites aurorubens, Lachnolaimus maximus, Priacanthus arenatus, Scomberomorus cavalla, S. brasiliensis, Euthynnus alle eratus, Auxis thazard, Sarda sarda, Thunnus atlan!cus, Rachycentron canadum, Caranx hippos, C. crysos, Selene setapinnis, Alec!s ciliaris, Trachinotus carolinus and Elops saurus. These length-weight relaonships can be used to improve fish stascs because of difficulty in obtaining weight of the fish in field
