Description Information on length and body weight of fish is the foremost requirement
for regulation of catch and estimation of biomass as they are the pre-requisites
for conservation and management of fish. Length-weight relationships were
estimated for ten major marine small pelagic fish species landed along
Karnataka coast, southeastern Arabian Sea. Specimens were collected on
weekly basis from various gears such as purse seines, ring seines, trawl nets and
gillnets landed at two major fishing harbors (Mangalore and Malpe) located
along the Karnataka coast during January 2018 to December 2019. The
estimated allometric coefficient b ranged between 2.513 and 3.205, falling
within the expected range (2.5-3.5). The LWRs were highly significant
(P3) while Sardinella fimbriata
(male and pooled), Seriolina nigrofasciata (male, female and pooled) and
Encrasicholina devisi (pooled) showed negative allometric growth (b
