... It is worth mentioning that the establishment of a length-weight relationship warrants length and weight measurements of fishes of different sizes ranging from very small to very large size. The collected specimens were identified using standard literature (Carpenter and Allen 1989; Najmudeen 2015; Nair and Zacharia 2019) and transported to the laboratory under refrigerated conditions to facilitate further examination. Their identities were also confirmed using standard keys (Nelson 2016;Froese and Pauly 2021). ...
