Abstract
This study provides the length-weight relationship for eleven mesopelagic fishes from oceanic islands of the Southwestern Tropical Atlantic: Bonapartia pedaliota, Sigmops elongatus (Gonostomatidae), Argyropelecus aculeatus, Argyropelecus affinis, Argyropelecus sladeni, Sternoptyx diaphana, Sternoptyx pseudobscura (Sternoptychidae), Malacosteus niger, Thysanactis dentex (Stomiidae), Melanonus zugmayeri (Melanonidae), and Ectreposebastes imus (Setarchidae). Data were collected during a scientific survey (2017) around Rocas Atoll, Fernando de Noronha Archipelago and adjacent seamounts, using a micronekton trawl (side
length of body mesh: 40 mm, side
length of cod-end mesh: 10 mm) at 35 stations from 0 to 1,113 m depth. A new maximum standard length for Bonapartia pedaliota and Ectreposebastes imus are also provided.

We acknowledge the French oceanographic fleet for funding the at‐sea survey ABRACOS (https://dx.doi.org/10.17600/17004100) and the officers and crew of the RV Antea for their contribu‐ tion to the success of the operations. The present study could not have been done without the work of all participants from the BIOIMPACT (UFRPE) and LIZ (UFRJ) laboratories. We thank the CNPq (Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development) for providing student scholarship to LNE and ASL, and research grant for TF and FLF. This work is a contribution to the LMI TAPIOCA, CAPES/COFECUB program (88881.142689/2017‐01), and PADDLE project (funding by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation pro‐ gramme ‐ grant agreement No. 73427).
