Abstract

In the present study, length–weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for three deep sea fishspecies, namely, Nettastoma melanura Rafinesque, 1810; Lampanyctus crocodilus (Risso, 1810);and Chauliodus sloani Bloch & Schneider, 1801 in the north-eastern Mediterranean Sea. A total of102 fish samples were collected from Mersin Bay (Erdemli coast). Their length–weight relationshipb values ranged between 2.458 and 3.496, and all regressions were found to be significant for allthree species (p
