Summary Weight and length descriptive statistics are reported for 73 fish species discarded in the commercial fisheries from the south coast of Portugal. Parameters of the weight–length relationship were estimated for 57 of these species. These are the first weight–length parameters reported for 20 of these species. For an additional 16 species for which no weight–length parameters have been reported, the parameter a was estimated by setting b = 3.0. Samples were used from five gear types: crustacean trawler, fish trawler, pelagic purse seine, demersal purse seine and trammel net. Samples were obtained from depths ranging from 500 m and included pelagic and demersal species.

• Length-weight relationships of 76 fish species from the Gulf of Cadiz (SW Spain) (2012, methodology): “In this study, these species except the blackbellied angler, presented positive allometric growth contrary to the results obtained in Portuguese waters for the same species (Mata et al., 2008; Santos et al., 2002; Borges et al., 2003).”
