Abstract

Length-weight relationship (LWR) parameters of 51 species of demersal fish caught as by-catch by shrimp fishery trawl in the southeastern coast of Brazil are reported. This is the first compilation of LWR for most of the cited species in Brazil, and indicates a positive allometric tendency for b in the sampled fish community.
