Summary This study reports the length–weight relationship ( LWR ) and length‐length relationship ( LLR ) estimated for four fish species inhabiting in Chilika Lake, India. Total 504 specimens were sampled from mono‐filament gill nets (mesh size 12 mm, 22–24 mm, 34–38 mm, 42 mm) during January 2015 to December 2015. The estimated b values from LWR ranged between 2.79 ( T. biaculeatus ) to 3.29 ( C. praeustus ). In all species, the relationships between length‐weight and length‐length were highly correlated ( p < .05). The study provides first world reports on LWR s and LLR s for all the 4 studied species.
