Length weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for three gobiid species, Bathygobius meggitti (Hora & Mukerji, 1936), Acentrogobius dayi Koumans, 1941 and Cryptocentroides arabicus (Gmelin, 1789) (Perciformes: Gobiidae) collected from 13 localities of the Iranian intertidal coast of the Persian Gulf and Makran Sea in seven times from November 2015 to September 2017 using a hand net with mesh size 1.30 mm. The b values showed significant differences between males and females of all species except the C. arabicus . Bailey's t test revealed that b value significantly deviated from the expected cube value of 3 in three species.
