Summary Length–weight relationships ( LWR s) for Hyporthodus haifensis and Mycteroperca rubra were studied using longlines at depths of 5–150 m, in the Gulf of Antalya, northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Fishing operations were carried out daily with 15 fishing boats. A total of 170 individuals were sampled. The LWR relationships of H yporthodus haifensis and M ycteroperca rubra were calculated as W = 0.009L 3.142 ( r 2 ) = 0.996 and W = 0.0081L 3.0652 ( r 2 ) = 0.989 P < 0.05, respectively.
