Description
Summary:The results presented contribute to the knowledge about the length-weight relationships (LWR) of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla). When using the results presented in this study, it should borne in mind that the samples were taken during the year and the number of fish examined was relatively large. LWRs parameters are calculated for the two different length classis and found significant. In the present study, bigger specimens (45 cm) of European eel have value of growth coefficient b = 3.25. This value is significantly higher than the b = 3 showing that weight of this fish increases more than cube of its length (positive growth coeffient). The lesser specimens (
