“…For the twenty-nine native fsh species, all the P values were extremely signifcant (P < 0.001) and the b values were within the expected range between 2.5 and 3.5 [6], which are in accordance with the previous estimates [1]. Although the LWRs presented in this study are frst estimates for most species, some of them must be taken as tentative because of the limited sample size (N < 30) and limited size range covered.…”

“…Te length-weight relationship was expressed by using a regression equation, W � aL b , which was ftted, where L was the total length (cm) and W was the total weight (g). Te relationship was converted into its logarithmic form, logW � loga + blogL, to compute a (the intercept) and b (the slope of the equation) [6]. Te log-log plots of length and weight were ftted to remove the outliers before linear regression analysis.…”

Twenty-nine native freshwater fish species belonging to the four orders and eight families were collected from the Hongshui River, which belongs to the upper reaches of the Pearl River, to analyze their length-weight relationships (LWRs). Twenty-nine freshwater native fish were sourced using cages (0.2 m in height, 0.25 m in width, and 8 m in length, with a mesh size of 5 mm) and triple gillnets (20–40 m long, 1–3 m high, and mesh size, 2−3 cm) between December 2021 and July 2022. For each freshwater fish, the total length (TL) and weight were measured to the nearest 1.0 mm and 0.1 g. All LWR parameters of the twenty-nine species were statistically significant P < 0.001 . The length-weight relationships for the nine species were new to the FishBase and new maximum lengths were recorded for the twenty species. The LWR values provided for the first time will help to validate the accuracy and predictability of the Bayesian models for estimating the species-specific growth parameters of the data-poor species.

“…In addition, the WLR has proven to be useful in estimating the fish condition factor (K), which sheds light on the physiological condition, hypertrophy, and health of the fish [12,13]. Finally, with the help of the WLR, fish length category data can be translated into estimates of biomass in aquatic ecosystems [13] and growth rates [14], which can be used for the comparison of life history and morphology of fish populations across different geographical areas [15]. Therefore, it has significant implications for the protection, management, and utilization of fish populations [16,17].…”

The weight–length relationship (WLR) of fish is a crucial tool in fish biology research and has received extensive attention. However, fish growth is influenced by many factors, and the WLR also changes accordingly. Our aim was to investigate how fish body shape is affected by various factors by analyzing the existing parameters of the relationship between fish body length and weight. We analyzed 198,354 fish specimens belonging to 402 species of 82 families in China and investigated the change of fish body shape in the function of their ecology. Herbivorous fish tended to be shorter and fatter than carnivorous fish, and omnivorous fish fall somewhere in between. This difference could be due to variations in feeding habits and the availability of food sources. Additionally, fish living in lentic waters tended to have a shorter and fatter body shape compared to those living in lotic waters. This could be attributed to differences in swimming behavior in these environments. Furthermore, our results showed that the b value decreased as altitude increased, and fish tended to be thinner and longer due to lower oxygen and temperature levels in high-altitude waters. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the WLR of fish and the impact of multiple factors on fish body shape.
