Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jai12830-abs-0001"> <title>Summary</title> <p>This paper reports the length–weight relationships for six fish species belonging to the Cyprinidae from the middle of the Yalu Tsangpo River in China. Samples were obtained by electroshock and drift net fishing techniques (mesh size 2 cm × 3 cm; 200 m net length) in April and September to October 2014. Length–weight relationships estimates for these species were not available in FishBase. A total of 737 specimens were used to estimate the <italic>a</italic> and <italic>b</italic> parameters. New maximum total lengths are also reported for six species. The <italic>r</italic>² values range from 0.98 to 0.99. Values of <italic>b</italic> vary from 2.88 to 3.19.</p> </abstract>
