In 18 marine fish species from the eastern Mediterranean, vertical mouth opening increased linearly with total length (__L__~T~) for 10 species and log‐linearly for eight species. Horizontal mouth opening was linearly related to __L__~T~ for 12 species and log‐linearly for six species, whereas mouth
