Abstract
Length-weight regressions (LWR, W = a × Lb) of 17 coastal fish species from the Luanhe River Estuary in northern China are presented in this study. A total of 7354 samples from 11 families were measured and weighed. The slope (b) values for LWR ranged from 2.572 in Acanthogobius ommaturus to 3.6581 in Engraulis japonicus. The median value was 3.114 in Platycephalus indicus, although 50% of the values ranged between 2.9451 to 3.2965 for the entire data set.
