Length‐weight relationship of stingrays in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia

Length‐weight relationship of stingrays in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia

Length‐weight relationships of three sympatric species of stingrays from a coastal mudflat, Malaysia were estimated. A total of 290 individuals (150 Himantura walga, 78 Dasyatis bennetti, and 57 Dasyatis zugei) were sampled using barrier net, gill net and beam trawl. The length‐weight relationship b...

Zusammenfassung:Length‐weight relationships of three sympatric species of stingrays from a coastal mudflat, Malaysia were estimated. A total of 290 individuals (150 Himantura walga, 78 Dasyatis bennetti, and 57 Dasyatis zugei) were sampled using barrier net, gill net and beam trawl. The length‐weight relationship based on disc length and width generally showed positive allometric growth (b > 3) for all species. This study reports the first findings regarding the length‐weight relationships of these stingray species in Malaysian waters.
