Abstract

This paper consists of the compilation of data about the parameters a and b of the length-weight relationships according to the potential model of regresion, represented by the equation Y = A Xb . These parameters were obtained for 42 species, belonging to 18 families of marine fishes caught by the fishery off Ceará State, Brazil. This study aims at providing basic data for research in fishery biology and fish stock assessament.
