Length-weight relationships of top predator fish caught by the sport fishing fleet off Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico

ABSTRACT Length-weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for Pacific blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), striped marlin (Kajikia audax), sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus), dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares). These five fish species are key top predators of the p...
