Abstract

Regression coefficient value (b) of the length-weight relation of Epinephelus
chlorostigma was registered as 2.6383, which is significantly (p<0.01) less
than the hypothetical value (3). This coefficient of E. areolatus was registered
as 2.9500, a value close to 3. The correlation coefficients (r) were registered
as 0.9725 and 0.9837 for E. chlorostigma and E. areolatus, respectively, which
show a good relationship between the two parameters.
