Abstract
The parameters a and b of the
length-weight relationship of the form W=a.L b
were estimated for 57 fish species sampled
in São Sebastião Channel and shelf system in 1997,
São Paulo, Brazil. The b values ranged
from 2.746 to 3.617. The Student ’s t-test revealed
that most (44) species had b values significantly
different from 3. A normal distribution of the
calculated LWR exponents (b) was obtained.
