The knowledge of biometric relations of teleost species is useful for studies of piscivory. The aim of the present study is to survery the coastal teleost species of Rio de Janeiro State and to study the biometric relations between body weight and length and between otolith  size and body length. Eight collecting trips were made during 1998, between 21° 35’S and 22 °00’S. Fishing was performed by bottom trawls parallel to the coast- line from 0.5 to 2 nautical miles from the coast.  Sixty species of neritic teleosts, belonging to 29 families were recorded. Biometric relations were analyzed for 29 species using the exponential equation (Y = a. X6). In  general, neritic teleosts do not have commercial  value, but they are important food resources to the small cetacean species that inhabit the north of Rio de Janeiro State.
