Abstract
Length-weight relationships (LWRs) are pivotal for comparative life-history studies, conservation strategies and ecosystem modelling among regions. They provide essential information on the growth, fitness and wellbeing of a population in an ecosystem. Length and weight relationships and descriptive statistics for eight Chondrichthyes, caught off the Madeira archipelago between 2004 and 2019 from depths ranging from 350 to 2500 m, are herein reported. A total of 767 specimens was studied and it was observed that the parameter b (relative growth rate) oscillated between 2.558 for males of Centrophorus squamosus and 3.494 for females of Etmopterus princeps. This study is the first to include the LWRs for these 8 Chondrichthyes species in Madeira waters.
