Abstract

This study conducted to achieve Length-Weight Relationship of Tunnus tonggol in Persian Gulf. 480 samples of this species were biometred. Analyses of length and weight showed that there was a high rank of correlation between length and weight of this species. Lenght-Weight Relationship for this species was calculated TW = 4E-07TL3.4891. Condition factor was computed 4.52±1.10. Result declared that maximum length frequency belonged to 650-750 mm range. In addition, Statistical T-test showed that that all b values are significantly vary from the expected b=3 value and this species had a positive allometric growth in this river.
