Abstract: 

The length-weight relationship of 15 ground fish species from Tunisian deep water (SW Mediterranean Sea) belonging to 9 families (Lophidae, Citharidae, Scorpaenidae, Serranidae, Triglidae, Trachinidae, Gadidae, Uranoscopidae, Zeidae) were estimated. A total of 3765 specimens were used for this purpose. Growth coefficient, (b) of the LWR ranged from 2.88 (Serranus cabrilla) to 3.28 (Trachinus draco) and the intercept of the regression model (a) between 0.0044 and 0.0702.
