Abstract
Weight-length relationships were estimated for 31 fish species from th e south and south-west coasts of Portugal. These species, which are ma inly sea breams (Sparidae), dominate the catches of the main fixed gea rs used in this region and account for more than 50% and 40% of the to tal fish landings by weight and by value.
