  1. Here we present length-weight relationships (LWR) for 11 reef fish species from eight islands in French Polynesia. A total of 1,930 fish were collected from five islands in the Society Archipelago (Moorea, Tahiti, Raiatea, Huahine, Tetiaroa) and in three atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago (Takapoto, Tikehau, and Rangiroa). These fishes span trophic levels, including planktivores, herbivores, and carnivores, and are among the most abundant species for the region. Estimates include LWRs for species never previously published or available in the literature or accessible databases. Measurements of total length (TL: 0.1 cm precision) and total weight (W: 0.01 g precision) were taken. These estimates increase the number of available and robust LWRs for coral reef fishes, providing a better understanding of patterns of growth for these species. With a particular focus on small-bodied species, among the most abundant observed in underwater visual censuses, these estimates will allow marine resource managers and local scientists to characterize fish biomass in French Polynesia with greater precision.
