Length-weight relationships of 11 fish species from the Min River Estuary and its adjacent waters, Fujian Province, China

Length-weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for 11 fish species from the Min River Estuary and its adjacent waters, Fujian Province, China. All samples were collected using gillnets (mesh size 45 mm) and bottom trawls (mesh sizes 45 mm at the main webbing and 25 mm at the cod end) seasonally in 2017 and 2018. The parameters for the LWRs were estimated, along with the basic Statistical analyses for total length and weight ranges as well as the 95% confidence intervals for the intercept (a) and the slope (b) of the regression lines. Further, the coefficient of correlation indicated that the LWRs were highly significant (allr(2) > .95,p < .001). This study provides the new maximum total lengths (TLmax) forCoilia grayii(33.0 cm),Johnius taiwanensis(20.9 cm),Johnius trewavasae(22.0 cm) andCynoglossus sibogae(22.0 cm).
