Length-weight relationships of two sea bream fish species in Saudi Arabian coastal fisheries of the Red Sea

الملخص EN

The length-weight relationships are presented for two spe-cies of coastal marine fishes inhabiting the coastal mangrove habitats in 0.

5-1.

0 m depth along the Red Sea Coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The parameters (a) and (b) of the equation W = a Lb were es-timated through base-10 logarithm transformation of L-Wt data pairs.

The value of (b) was 2.

77 for karanteen sea bream, Crenidens crenid-ens, and 3.

08 for the two bar sea bream, Acanthopagrus bifasciatus.

The length-weight relationships for the males and females of both spe-cies and that for the juvenile karanteen sea bream are discussed in this paper.
