Length–weight and length–length relationships for nine rocky tidal pool fishes along the Pacific coast of the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This study investigates the length-weight relationships (LWR) and length-length (L-L) parameters of nine species of rocky intertidal fishes along the Pacific coast of the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. Data collected from 2006 to 2008 reveals significant morphometric relationships for these species, contributing to the understanding of their biology and ecology, and addressing the existing gap in information related to their length and weight metrics.
