Abstract

Length-weight relationships were described for five fish species belonging to three families and four genera from the Daninghe River, one of primary tributaries of the upper Yangtze River, China. A total of 1894 specimens were collected from 2014 to 2016 by using electro-fishing equipment. Length–weight relationships for five species were recorded previously in FishBase and new maximum total lengths for five species were also presented in this paper. The results will be useful for fishery research, management and conservation in the upper Yangtze River Basin.
