Length-Weight Relationships of Demersal Fishes from the South China Sea of Malaysia

摘要

ABSTRACT This study attempts to look into the length weight relationship of demersal fish species collected from the South China Sea of Malaysia. Demersal fish species from wild were captured, total length and weight of each fish were measured, and gonads were observed. Gonadosomatic index and length-weight relationship were calculated. Gonadosomatic index varies between 0.16 (Plectohinchus pictus) and 7.53 (Sphyraena jello). b values of lengthweight relationship ranged from 2.423 (Compressifor.
