Relationships of Otolith Dimensions and Weight with Body Length of Three Lethrinid Species (Actinopterygii, Lethrinidae) from Yemen

Relationships between fish length and otolith length, width, and weight were studied in three lethrinid species Lethrinus borbonicus Valenciennes 1830, Lethrinus lentjan (Lacepède 1802), and Lethrinus mahsena (Fabricius, 1775) collected...

A non-linear regression model was used to investigate the relationship between otolith weight and TL.
