With the rapid population growth and economic development in the river basin, fish diversity and fishery resources of this river are experiencing serious threats. Basic biological information on most fish species in the Lancang River, required to improve conservation in this area, is limited. This study aimed to provide new estimates of length-weight relationships (LWRs) by using the linear regression of W = aLb for eight indigenous fish species from the Lancang River, Southwest China. From 2018 to 2021, 534 specimens belonging to 3 families and 8 genera were collected using various types of fishing techniques. Standard length (SL) and body weight (BW) of each specimen were measured to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.1 g, respectively. This study presents the first public records of LWR parameters of Schizothorax lissolabiatus, Poropuntius huangchuchieni, Tor sinensis, Scaphiodonichthys acanthopterus, Mystacoleucus lepturus, Hemiculterella macrolepis, Glyptothorax lampris, and Schistura porthos. The range of b values for the LWRs was 2.5378–3.1732, and the r2 values for all LWRs estimates ranged from 0.9102 to 0.9952. Intraspecific difference of b values across population and/or season was observed in S. lissolabiatus, T. sinensis, P. huangchuchieni, S. acanthopterus, and M. lepturus. The range of mean condition factor (K) and mean relative weight (Wr) was 0.97–2.39 and 100.29–108.18, respectively. This study updated information for FishBase and provided new record of maximum standard length for five species, namely, S. lissolabiatus, P. huangchuchieni, T. sinensis, S. acanthopterus, and M. lepturus.

Few length-weight relationships exist for Appalachian stream fish species despite the high amount of biodiversity within the region. The main purpose of our study was to determine the length-weight relationships for stream fish species found in Central Appalachia. We sampled 16 streams and captured over 14,000 individual fish among 44 species. We identified each fish to species and recorded total length (mm) and weight (g) for each individual. These data were log10 transformed and analyzed using linear regression to calculate the length-weight parameters for each species. Relationships were calculated for 44 different stream fish species. Searches in FishBase.org revealed that of the 44 species in our data, 9 species have no current data in FishBase.org (Froese and Pauly, 2016), while 20 others have no previous representation from Central Appalachia. The relationships obtained in this study are some of the first published for these species in this region.
