Abstract :This study investigates length–weight relationships insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LWR); and length–length relationships insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LLRs); of three length measurements insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TL, FL, SL); for the Mediterranean population of the Indo-Pasific fourlined terapon, Pelates quadrilineatus. A total of 134 specimens were collected, and LWR for females, males and both sexes, were calculated as W= 0.0037TL3.5094, W= 0.0057TL3.3378 and W= 0.0046TL3.4249 respectively. The length-length regressions were significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.001); for all species, with all r2 values greater than 0.930.
