Abstract: Parameters a and b of the length (L)-weight (W) relationship W = a ╖ Lb are presented for 17 commercial bivalve species collected from the southwest coastal waters of Korea. Estimates of b varied between 2.44 (Atrina pinnata japonica) and 3.31 (Scaphara broughtonii) with a mean of 2.891 (▒ 0.212). A total of 2 107 specimens were analyzed for this study. The length-weight relationship was isometric in most of the species.
