Gurnards or triglids are marine bottom fishes that live in temperate and tropical seas. This work presents the reference on weight-length relationships of four genera and seven species, poorly discussed for the Mediterranean Sea. Samples were collected during MEDITS and GRUND trawl survey between 1982-2008 in the North-Middle Adriatic Sea. The parameters of a and b of the equation W=aLb were estimated. The b values for species, season, length, sex, obtained both in this study and some of the previously reported were compared.

Abstract
Gurnards or triglids are marine bottom fishes that live in temperate and tropical seas. This work presents the reference on weight-length relationships of four genera and seven species, poorly discussed for the Mediterranean Sea. Samples were collected during MEDITS and GRUND trawl survey between 1982-2008 in the North-Middle Adriatic Sea. The parameters of a and b of the equation W=aLb were estimated. The b values for species, season, length, sex, obtained both in this study and some of the previously reported were compared.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
