Description One of the major objectives of the research programme
on tunas at Minicoy Island, is to collect data
on length frequency distribution of skipjack, Katsuwonus
pelamis and yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares which
are caught by pole and line fishing. In order to utilize
these length frequency data and to convert catch data
from kilograms to number of fish for the purposes of
estimating average weights and the population sizes,
it becomes essential to estimate the length-weight
relationship of these species.
