Description:

Very little information has been published in the scientific literature regarding length-weight relationships for marine species in American Samoa. Some information exists for large pelagic species from the more prominent longline and purse seine fisheries (e.g. Curran and Bigelow, 2016). American Samoa’s smaller-scale fisheries are very diverse and important to its culture and economy, yet much less well known. This study analyzes length-weight data collected from small-scale fisheries on the islands of Tutuila and Aunu′u, American Samoa, and summarizes allometric growth relationships determined for 71 fish species (and one invertebrate) for which sufficient data were available.
