Summary This paper presents length‐weight relationships ( LWR ) for four fish species from the continental shelf of Yucatán, at the Sonda de Campeche (southwestern Gulf of México). Samples were taken using shrimp trawl nets (5.71 cm squared mesh size in the cod‐end) in the mid‐summer of 2016. All LWR s were significant with r 2 values ranged from .946 to .994 and the values of exponent b , estimated using simple linear least squares of log‐transformed weight and length data, ranged from 2.54 to 3.10 ( p < .001).
