Summary Length–weight relationships ( LWR ) were calculated for 18 species representing 11 families of fishes. A total of 958 fish specimens from the southwestern Terminos Lagoon, Campeche (Mexico), several of which had none or few LWR s available in FishBase, were sampled (except December) using a shrimp otter trawl net from September 2003 to August 2004. Sample sizes ranged from seven Mugil curema and Archosargus probatocephalus individuals to 250 Eugerres plumieri .
