Resumen:
This study reports length-weight relationships and growth parameters for Floridichthys polyommus Hubbs, 1936 and Fundulus persimilis Miller, 1955 from La Carbonera, a karstic tropical coastal lagoon on the northwestern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Specimens were collected between April 2009 and March 2010. The resulting lengthweight relationship for F. polyommus was: W = 0.0180 Lt3.37 and W = 0.0142 Lt3.35 for F. persimilis. This study presents the first estimation for both species of the von Bertalanffy growth model parameters, the growth performance index, the L50, and is the first report of the length-weight relationship for F. persimilis. © 2014 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.
