Abstract

Summary: Length–weight relationships (LWRs) for one percoid ( Johnius coitor ) and three cyprinid ( Garra birostris, Garra annandalei and Raiamas bola ) fish species from the Brahmaputra River basin in Assam, Northeast India, was studied on a monthly basis from November 2015 to December 2016, using fishing gears namely, cast nets (9′, 1/2″) and gillnets (30 × 0.9 m). No previous record is available on LWR data for three of these species.
