Abstract

The study provides the length-weight relationships (LWRs) for eight fish species, viz. Hemiculter bleekeri, H. leucisculus, Opsariichthys bidens (Xenocyprididae), Carassius auratus, Cyprinus carpio (Cyprinidae), Pseudorasbora parva (Gobionidae), Acanthorhodeus chankaensis, and Rhodeus ocellatus (Acheilognathidae), in the world’s largest water diversion project, namely, the middle route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP). Fish specimens were sampled by benthic fyke-nets, gillnets, multimesh gillnets, and electrofishing equipment seasonally from 2015 to 2020. The coefficient of determination (r2) was ranging from 0.964 (R. ocellatus) to 0.986 (H. leucisculus), and the b values for the eight species were within range of 2.5–3.5. Also, our study updates the information on the maximum total length for four species (H. bleekeri, H. leucisculus, A. chankaensis, and O. bidens).
