Long‐term environmental monitoring studies includes morphometric data (length and weight) of aggregating fish species around this artificial structure and adjacent soft‐bottom habitats. We used these data, obtained biannually (summer and spring) between 2012 and 2018, to estimate population parameters such as length‐weight relationships (LWRs) for 28 species. Gender and ontogeny‐based differences in LWR were determined in four species, while novel LWR information was generated for all other species.
