Abstract

The present study describes length-weight relationships (LWRs) and length-length relationships (LLRs) parameters of 458 specimens from six freshwater fish species (Cyprinion watsoni, Garra gotyla, Labeo dyocheilus pakistanicus, Labeo diplostomus, Schizothorax plagiostomus and Tor macrolepis) belonging to the Family: Cyprinidae; with several new records of maximum total length. The regression coefficient (b) values of LWRs and LLRs reflected optimum fish growth for the studied species. This study provided the first records of LWRs for these species from Sulaeman Mountain Range, Dera Ghazi Khan Region, Pakistan.
