The length‐weight relationship and condition factor of 420 dolphin‐fish ( Coryphaena hippurus ) collected in Malta in 1974 were determined. The length‐weight relationship for the size range investigated was similar to that reported for the fish from North America. The main food items were flying fish and other fish and crabs.
