Summary This study presents the length‐weight relationships ( LWR s) for four marine finfishes namely, Alepes kleinii (Bloch, 1793), Cynoglossus macrostomus Norman, 1928, Epinephelus diacanthus (Valenciennes, 1828) and Opisthopterus tardoore (Cuvier, 1829) collected from Ratnagiri, West Coast of India. A total of 2149 specimens were measured for obtaining the LWR s. The range of slope b (2.473–3.252) was almost within the expected range of 2.5–3.5 (Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 22, 241, 2006). The intercept a ranged from 0.0031–0.0184.
