Weight–length relationships (WLR) are reported for 20 fish species from the mangroves of Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles). The fishes were collected using fishing hoop nets. In the present study, the regressions were calculated after separating juveniles and adults. The b coefficient in the WLR varied between 2.37 and 3.85, with a mean of 3.15 ± 0.15.
