Abstract
In this study a series of weight-length relationships are presented for 13 fish species caught between September and December 2000 off the south coast of İskenderun Bay. The samples were collected with longlines. The values of the exponent b in the weight-length relationship, W = aLb, ranged from 2.391 to 3.675 and the median value was 2.714.
