| Abstract: | The length–weight relationships (LWRs) are described for seven fish species from four families (Ariidae, Clupeidae, Leiognathidae and Sciaenidae) inhabiting Penang waters. A total of 471 specimens were sampled and measured from 19 to 20 January 2015, using a bottom trawl net with a 38 mm mesh size of cod‐end. No information regarding LWRs was reported previously in FishBase for Cryptarius truncatus, Escualosa thoracata, Johnius carouna, Nuchequula blochii, Plicofollis argyropleuron, Secutor hanedai or Secutor megalolepis, and the study also provides a new FishBase record of maximum total length for Escualosa thoracata (10.6 cm), Secutor hanedai (9.1 cm) and Secutor megalolepis (7.5 cm). |
