Twenty‐eight additions to the length‐weight and length‐length relationships of Indo‐Pacific fishes from the Davao Gulf, Philippines

Summary Selected fish were measured on markets along the Davao Gulf, Philippines between 2009 and 2016, augmenting the number of Length‐Weight relationships (LWR) published earlier for the same area. LWRs were calculated for 28 fishes including those of 12 firstly reported, rare species. SL‐TL and SL‐FL relationships were determined for 28 and 25 species (also including 8 and 12 newly reported relationships, respectively). Minimum size at which individuals start developing forked tails are provided for Cheilinus fasciatus (SL = 15.0 cm), Plectorhinchus polytaenia (SL = 27.0 cm), Pseudobalistes flavimarginatus (SL = 18.0 cm) and Thalassoma hardwicke (SL = 11.5 cm). The flatfish Psettodes erumei had a right‐left eyed ratio of 0.55.
