In this study, the length-weight relationships (LWRs) and length-length relationships (LLRs) of 16 marine fish species-important component of fishery production models-were estimated. The specimens were collected monthly from commercial gillnet fisheries from November 6, 2018 to October 30, 2019 in Vietnamese waters. In total, 7,426 individuals had their total length (TL), fork length (FL) and total body weight (W) measured. LWRs were calculated using the logarithmic transformation of the linear regression equation logW = loga + b*logTL, while LLRs were determined using a linear regression model: TL = a + b*FL. In addition, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for the model parameters. The results showed that all regression parameters were highly significant (p < 0.001), with coefficients of determinations (R 2 ) > 0.9412 for all species. The a (intercept) values ranged from 0.0025 to 0.4, and the b (slope) values ranged from 2.53 to 3.28. TL and FL were highly correlated (p < 0.001 and R 2 > 0.9422 for all parameters), and a and b ranged from -9.12 to 15.85 and 0.87 to 1.45, respectively. The results provide the key morphology parameters, which are beneficial for fishery researchers and managers in stock assessment, administration and conservation.
