Length‐weight relationships of three freshwater fish species from the Nandu River and Changhua River in Hainan Island, China

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Length-weight relationships (LRWs) were determined for three fish species from the Hainan Island, China. Fish specimens were sampled across the Nandu River and Changhua River from May 2017 to June 2018 with benthic fyke-nets (stretched mesh size: 0.4 cm), multi-mesh gillnets (stretched mesh size ranging from 1.0 to 12.5 cm) and electrofishing. Relationships between length and weight were fitted very well for all species (all R2>0.95). The b values of the LRW equations ranging from 2.938 for Liniparhomaloptera qiongzhongensis to 3.259 for Toxabramis houdemeri.
