Abstract

The relationship between length and weight is a very necessary parameter in performing proper analytical assessments of fish stocks. Because of the importance of this fishery and hence the need for accurate assessment of potential yield, length-weight relationships have now been derived for most of the stocks under catch-quota management. The results are presented in this paper.
