الملخص EN

The parameters a and b of the length- weight relationship (LWR) of the power function equation :W=aLb are presented for 17 fish species belonging to many families and habitats.

The fish samples used for the study were collected from artisanal fisheries during the period of August 2011 - December 2013,along the coast of Hadhramout-Gulf of Aden.
