Abstract

<p>Length-weight (LWR) and length-length (LLR) relationships of seven loach species (Teleostei: Cypriniformes): <em>Botia striata, Lepidocephalichthys thermalis, Paracanthocobitis mooreh, Indoreonectes evezardi, Nemacheilus anguilla, Nemachilichthys rueppelli</em> and <em>Schistura denisoni</em> were studied from five localities within the Krishna River system of the Indian Western Ghats: Lonawala (Indrayani River), Paud (Mula River), Warje (Mutha River), Bhor (Nira River) and Patan (Koyna River). With the exception of <em>L. thermalis</em> all species are endemic to peninsular India, and to our knowledge this is the first presentation of LWR and LLR data for them. New maximum lengths are also reported for <em>I. evezardi, N. anguilla, N. rueppelli </em>and<em> S. denisoni.</em> </p><div><em><br /></em></div>
