Abstract

In this study the relationships Length-weight (LWR) were described for four native fish species (Triplophysa siluroides, Schizopygopsis pylzovi, Gymnocypris eckloni and Acanthogobio guentheri)belonging to one family and five genera, from upstream of the Yellow River on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. All the specimens were sampled by electric fishing (12 V, 2000–3500 W) and multiple gill netting from June to July 2015. The values of parameter b for all species ranged from 2.9344 to 3.4788, and the values parameter a ranged from 0.0031 to 0.0127.
