Length-weight relationship of five coral reef fish from the Weizhou Island, China

In the present study, the LWRs investigations were conducted for five fish species from Weizhou Island for four times seasonally during the period from April 2017 to January 2018. Samples were obtained using gillnets (25x12m, mesh size 0.5cm), trawl nets (50x12m, mesh size 0.5cm) and fishhooks (0.5x0.5x10m, mesh size 0.5cm mesh). Results indicate that mean LWR parameters b for these five coral reef fish varied from 2.847 to 3.525 and r(2) values varied from 0.972 to 0.988.
