Abstract
This study provides the length-weight relationship (LWR) for 13 demersal fish species belonging to 11 families and 8 orders. Data were collected in the northeast Brazilian continental shelf during two scientific surveys (2015 and 2017) using a bottom trawl net (side length of body mesh: 40 mm, side length of cod-end mesh: 25 mm) at 35 stations between 15 and 60 m of depth. We provide novel LWRs for four species and expand the size range of 9 relationships previously established.

We acknowledge the French oceanographic fleet for funding the at-sea survey ABRACOS 1 and 2 (https://dx.doi.org/10.17600/15005600 / https://dx.doi.org/10.17600/17004100) and the officers and crew of the R/V Antea for their contribution to the success of the operations. The present study could not have been done without the work of all participants from the BIOIMPACT Laboratory. Thanks also to Michael Maia Mincarone (NUPEM) for species identification and deposition in the Fish Collection of NUPEM. We thank the CNPq (Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development), which provided student scholarship to Leandro Nolé Eduardo and Alex Souza Lira and research grant for Thierry Frédou, Beatrice Padovani Ferreira and Flávia Lucena Frédou. This work is a contribution to the LMI TAPIOCA, program CAPES/COFECUB (88881.142689/2017-01), and PADDLE project, which has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 73427.
