Abstract

The parameters ‘a’ and ‘b’ of length weight relationship of 6 species (Scolopsis vosmeri (Bloch, 1792), Engyprosopon macrolepis (Regan, 1908), Bleekeria murtii Joshi, Zacharia&Kanthan, 2012), Centriscus scutatus Linnaeus, 1758, Samaris cristatus Gray, 1831 and Iniistius bimaculatus Ruppell, 1829) are reported from the Gulf of Mannar, South east coast of India. The fish samples were collected from experimental trawling conducted twice a month during the period August to December 2012 and September to December 2013 at a depth ranging from 8.5 to 20.5 m. Three hauls were made in a day with each haul of one hour duration. The total length of the gear was 32 m with a cod end mesh size of 30 mm. The total length of the fish was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm and weight to the nearest 0.1 g.
