| Abstract: | The length–weight relationships of four fish species: Lophiomus setigerus (Vahl, 1797), Uranoscopus oligolepis Bleeker, 1878, Cynoglossus oligolepis (Bleeker, 1855), and Cynoglossus arel (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) were determined. Specimens were collected from the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea by using bottom trawl nets (mesh size 4.0 cm, at a towing speed about 3 knots) in the seasonal investigations from August 2010 to May 2011. The values of parameter b of these four species ranged from 2.982–3.489 and remained within the normal range of 2.5–3.5. |
