Summary This study reports the length–weight relationships ( LWR s) of Rastrelliger brachysoma (Bleeker, 1851) and Rastrelliger faughni Matsui, 1967 from Andaman Islands, India. Sample sizes for the two fish species were 78 for R. brachysoma and 57 for R. faughni . Fish collected monthly from Junglighat fish landing center. Fish were captured by commercial ring seine units (mesh size ranging from 2 to 4 cm) between February 2016 and March 2017. LWR s were established as TW = 0.0042TL 3.332 ( r 2 = .989) for R. brachysoma and TW = 0.0096TL 3.022 ( r 2 = .980) for R. faughni .
