Resumo(s)

Length–weight relationships were estimated for six teleost fish species occurring in Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau. Samples were collected seasonally during three dry seasons (2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016) and two rainy seasons (2015 and 2016). Fishes were captured by three methods: angled from the beach or a boat; using beach seine with a mesh size ranging 0.5–1 cm; drift netting from a boat (mesh size 2 cm). This work provides the length-weight relationship for three fish species that are not reported in FishBase (Citharichthys stampflii, Gerres nigri and Psettodes belcheri) as well as for three species from which we present a wider size range (Eucinostomus melanopterus, Scomberomorus tritor and Sphyraena afra).
