Length-weight Relationship of Five Demersal Fish Species in Guinea Bissau (CE Atlantic)

Length-weight relationships (LWR) were determined for Brotula barbata, Dentex angolensis, Dentex macrophthalmus, Neomerinthe folgori and Scorpaena stephanica using individual fish records collected between July 2002 and January 2003, during a pilot project of experimental fishing over the shelf off...
