Length-weight relationship (LWR) parameters were analysed for six demersal finfish species from the Gulf of Mannar coast, Bay Bengal. Fishes sampled monthly landings trawlers operated along coast Tuticorin and Rameshwaram with a cod-end mesh size 35 mm at depth 60–80 m. Fish specimens by measuring total length (TL) weight (TW) precision to 0.1 cm g respectively. The present study also recorded new maximum Engyprosopon macrolepis, Torquigener brevipinnis Leiognathus brevirostris.
