Summary Length–weight relationships (TW = a TL b ) were estimated for fish species caught by bottom shrimp trawl in southern Bahia (Brazil) from March 2003 to February 2005. The results indicate that all 21 estimated relationships had a ‘ b ’ within the usual range (2.5–3.5). Two new maximum size records were established: 19.2 cm for Odontognathus mucronatus and 16.1 cm for Stellifer brasiliensis .
