ABSTRACT:

Length-weight and length-length relationships (LWRs and LLRs) for eight species of sharks were estimated using fish specimens caught in commercial fishery during 2018–2021 and landed at three fishing ports (Tanjung Luar Fish Landing Port-Lombok, Muncar Coastal Fishing Port-Banyuwangi and Sungai Kakap Fish Landing Port-Pontianak). The LWRs for Hemipristis elongata, Lamiopsis tephrodes and Pseudocarcharias kamoharai as well as the LLR for P. kamoharai reported in this study have not appeared on FishBase. This study also improved the LWRs and LLRs for other species. In addition, this study updated the maximum total length records for Carcharhinus brevipinna, Hemigaleus microstoma, H. elongata, Hexanchus nakamurai and L. tephrodes.
