An important routine in assessment of fish stock is deriving the numbers of fish removed from the population through fishing by converting the nominal catches from weight to numbers at age. This paper presents length-weight relationships for both round and gutted weights of witch flounder sampled in the autumn of 1982 from the eastern Newfoundland area (Div. 2J, 3K and 3L), which is the most important in the Northwest Atlantic in terms of catch. The present analysis considers data for each division separately.
