Summary This study provides length‐weight relationships ( LWR ) for three common marine species collected from Singapore, a small tropical island country in southeast Asia, where monthly collections using seine netting and fish trapping were performed at six sites from January to December 2010. The LWR s of these three species were BW = 0.0348 SL 3.002 ( n = 305, r 2 = .9747) for Paracentropogon longispinis , BW = 0.0315 SL 3.039 ( n = 104, r = .9798) for Trachicephalus uranoscopus and BW = 0.0651 SL 3.021 ( n = 70, r 2 = .9601) for Synanceja horrida respectively.
