Abstract
Parameters of the length-weight relationship of the form w = aLb are presented for 22 species of deepsea demersal fish species collected from 100-1100 m depths of Indian EEZ. The b values ranged from minimum of 2.32 (in Gavialiceps taeniola) to maximum of 3.50 (in Lamprogrammus exutus). The mean and mode value of ‘b’ for all species were 2.92 and 2.93 respectively. Overall, 14 species showed isometric growth, 5 species negatively allometric growth and 3 species, positively allometric growth.Downloads
