The present study reports length-weight relationship (LWR) of four fish species viz. Pennahia macrophtalmus, Epinephelus bleekeri, Acropoma joponicum and Trichiurus lepturus from the Oman Sea, Iran. A total of 880 specimens were collected from December 2016 to August 2017 by trawling. The LWR parameter b for the studied species was 2.68 to 3.07.
