Length-Weight Relationships of Selected Marine Reef Fishes from the Southeastern United States and the Caribbean

摘要

Formulae are provided for converting length estimates to wet weight biomass for 178 fish species from the southeast coast of the U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean. The formulae were empirically derived from measurements of 31,886 fishes. Species observed but lacking length-weight data are identified. Data contributions are solicited for future updates.
