| Abstract: | Length–weight relationships are lacking for most deep-sea fishes. This study presents length–weight relationships for 42 species from the western Bering Sea. Results show significantly different relationships between females and males for 11 species and between juveniles and adults of four species. A plot of length–weight estimates, log a over b , showed the deep-sea fishes in this study to be more of the elongated shape compared with other marine fishes. |
