Relations between fish length to weight, and otolith length and weight, of the lionfish Pterois volitans in the Parque Nacional Arrecife Alacranes, southern Gulf of Mexico

Described are the relations between fish length to weight, and otolith length and weight, of the lionfish (Pterois volitans) collected by diver-fishermen volunteers between 2011 and 2013 in a natural protected area (Parque Nacional Arrecife Alacranes) off the northern Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
