Review of Length-Weight Relationships of Fishes
from Greek Marine
Waters
K.I.
Stergiou and D.K. Moutopoulos
Abstract
This paper presents 649 length-weight relationships
gathered from literature pertaining to 83 fish
species, belonging to 34 families, throughout
Greek marine waters. The value of the slope b
ranged from 1.667 for Cepola macrophthalma
to 3.707 for Mullus barbatus. The mean
value of b was 2.989 (SD=0.339) and did not differ
significantly from 3 (t-test, p<0.05). The
median value of b was 3.058 and 50% of the b values
ranged between 2.900 and 3.186.

Studies of Sciaenids from Mumbai Waters using
the Bhattacharya
Method

Abstract
Length
frequency data of six sciaenids (Johnius
macrorhynus, J. vogleri, Otolithes cuvieri, J.
sina, Pennahia macrophthalamus, J. dussumieri)
were collected from shrimp trawlers at New Ferry
Wharf and Sassoon Docks landing centers off Greater
Mumbai. Growth parameters of these species were
analyzed via modal progression analysis using
Bhattacharya’s method. Natural mortality (M) was
estimated using Cushing’s formula. Comparison
of growth parameters was done using the φ’
index. The growth parameters
obtained were compared with the results of earlier
growth studies which used other techniques. This
study concludes that the growth parameters obtained
are consistent with earlier estimates.
