Length–weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated for five deep sea fishes v iz. Astronesthes martensii, Glyptophidium macropus, Neobythites multistriatus, Physiculus roseus, Synagrops japonicus from Kerala, south west coast of India. Fishes were collected from commercial trawlers monthly from February 2018 to March 2019 operating at depth ranged from 270 m (Lat. 9°29.35′ N, Long. 75°44.74′ E) to 350 m (Lat. 9°26. 49′ N, Long. 75°42.36′ E) in the south east Arabian Sea. Correlation coefficients ( r 2 ) were found high for all species, with b value ranged from 2.923 to 3.404.
