摘要

Abstract

The aim of this study is to report the length-weight relationship parameters (a and b) for some economically important fish species from Iranian freshwaters. The length-weight relationships (LWR) are calculated for six freshwater fish species collected during 2006 and 2007 in Iran. The values of the exponent b in the LWR (W=aL b ) vary between 2.985 and 3.543. The LWR with high correlation coefficient (r 2) is significant for all the species. These parameters are of great importance to evaluate the relative condition of populations

biology

species management and their fisheries and stock assessment. The application of the length-weight relationships presented here should be limited to the observed length ranges.
