Summary The length–weight relationships ( LWR s) are described for seven fish species from four families (Ariidae, Clupeidae, Leiognathidae and Sciaenidae) inhabiting Penang waters. A total of 471 specimens were sampled and measured from 19 to 20 January 2015, using a bottom trawl net with a 38 mm mesh size of cod‐end. No information regarding LWR s was reported previously in FishBase for Cryptarius truncatus , Escualosa thoracata , Johnius carouna , Nuchequula blochii , Plicofollis argyropleuron , Secutor hanedai or Secutor megalolepis , and the study also provides a new FishBase record of maximum total length for Escualosa thoracata (10.6 cm), Secutor hanedai (9.1 cm) and Secutor megalolepis (7.5 cm).
