Current study provides information on Length–weight relationship (LWR) of four fish species of family Mugilidae i.e., Planiliza macrolepis (Smith, 1846), Chelon parsia (Hamilton, 1822), Osteomugil cunnesius (Valenciennes, 1836) and Valamugil speigleri (Bleeker, 1858) from Chilika Lagoon, East coast of India. Samples were collected during monsoon (July 2016), winter (November 2016) and summer (April 2017) seasons from the fisher's boats inside the lagoon while fishing with screen barrier nets (mesh size 18‐38 mm) and gill nets (mesh size 34, 38, 46, 62 and 86 mm). The b values were determined from the data set in LWRs as 2.958 for P. macrolepis, 2.952 for O. cunnesius and 2.919 for C. parsia and 2.883 for V. peigleri. In all species, regression values were statistically significant (p < .05).
