LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONS OF 14 ENDEMIC FISH SPECIES FROM THE UPPER YANGTZE RIVER BASIN, CHINA

Abstract. Length–weight relations were estimated for 14 endemic fish species of the upper Yangze River, namely Sinogastromyzon szechuanensis Fang, 1930; Jinshaia sinensis (Sauvage et Dabry de Thiersant, 1874);Megalobrama pellegrini (Tchang, 1930); Coreius guichenoti (Sauvage et Dabry de Thiersant, 1874); Rhinogobio cylindricus Günther, 1888; Rhinogobio ventralis (Sauvage et Dabry de Thiersant, 1874); Procypris rabaudi (Tchang, 1930); Ancherythroculter kurematsui (Kimura, 1934); Ancherythroculter nigrocauda Yih et Wu, 1964;Acrossocheilus monticola (Günther, 1888); Leptobotia elongata (Bleeker, 1870); Hemiculterella sauvagei Warpachowski, 1888; Hemiculter tchangi Fang, 1942; and Xenophysogobio boulengeri (Tchang, 1929). The a values obtained ranged from 0.006 to 0.023, and b values ranged from 2.955 to 3.377. The t-test results indicated the first seven species grew isometrically and the other 7 species grew allometrically.
