Length–weight relationship (LWR) of an endemic fish, velvet leatherjacket, Lalmohania velutina (Hutchins, 1994) inhabiting Gulf of Mannar (GoM), southeast coast of India was determined during the present study. A total of 131 individuals (male n = 84; females n = 47) were collected from bycatch of shore seines in GoM and used for establishing LWR of this endemic species. The calculated value for parameter 'b' of LWRs were 2.5189, 2.6174 and 2.5614 for male, female and for total individuals (pooled), respectively. Maximum total length (TL) recorded for a female individual (TL_max = 13.4 cm) is the new report of maximum TL in L. velutina. The present study is the first reference on the length-weight relationship and the new maximum length recorded for L. velutina.

居住在马纳尔湾水域（印度东南沿海）的地方性流行天鹅绒皮夹克Lalmohania velutina的长度与重量关系（Hutchins，1994年）

在本研究中，确定了居住在印度东南沿海马纳尔湾（GoM）的地方性鱼类天鹅绒皮夹克Lalmohania velutina（Hutchins，1994）的长度-重量关系（LWR）。从GoM的海岸围网兼捕物中收集了总共131个人（雄性n = 84；雌性n = 47），并用于建立该特有物种的LWR。LWR参数“ b”的计算值对于男性，女性和全部个人（合并）分别为2.5189、2.6174和2.5614。雌性个体记录的最大总长（TL）（TL _max = 13.4 cm）是velutina中最大TL的新报告。本研究是有关长度-重量关系和velutina记录的新最大长度的第一个参考。
