Summary This study presents the first report of length–weight relationships ( LWR s) for Uranoscopus guttatus and Lagocephalus inermis from the Iranian coast on the Gulf of Oman. A wide range of body lengths and weights were obtained using samples from non‐selective trawling surveys. The LWR s obtained were W = 41.408L 3.519 and W = 16.525L 2.847 for U. guttatus and L. inermis, respectively.
