Summary This study reports length–weight relationships and growth parameters for C hriodorus atherinoides from L a C arbonera, a karstic tropical coastal lagoon on the northwestern coast of the Y ucatan P eninsula, M exico. A total of 667 specimens were collected between April 2009 and March 2010. The length‐weight relationship obtained was W = 0.0034Lt 3.22 . This study presents the first estimation of the model parameters of the von B ertalanffy growth equation ( L ∞  = 27.30 cm, k  =   0.76 year −1 and t 0  = −0.178 years), the instantaneous total mortality (2.51 year −1 ) and the maximum length record (26.0 cm total length), which is greater than previously recorded.
