This study aims to assess the length-weight relationship and condition factors of selected pelagic fishes from Terengganu waters.
Fish samples collected using purse seine gear with 1.0-inch mesh size.
Length-weight parameters estimated using linear regression analysis after log transformation.
Growth coefficients and relative condition factors were calculated for four fish species.
G. minuta exhibited negative allometric growth (b=2.98), while R. kanagurta, D. russelli, and S. gibbosa demonstrated positive allometric growth (b values of 3.29, 3.10, and 3.11, respectively).
Mean relative condition factor (Kn) for G. minuta was low (0.84 ± 0.01), indicating poor health condition.
R. kanagurta, D. russelli, and S. gibbosa had Kn values near or above unity (1.14 ± 0.01, 1.04 ± 0.01, and 1.04 ± 0.01), suggesting good health.
