Length‐weight relationships of two cyprinid fishes from the Beijiang River, Guangdong, China.

Summary: This study reports the length‐weight relationships (LWRs) of <italic>Acrossocheilus beijiangensis</italic> Wu & Lin, 1977 and <italic>Barbodes semifasciolatus</italic> (Günther, 1868) from the upper reaches of Beijiang River, Guangdong Province, China. Sample sizes for the two fish species were 335 for <italic>A. beijiangensis</italic> and 106 for <italic>B. semifasciolatus</italic>. Fishes were collected on a monthly basis between November 2013 and December 2014 using gill nets (30 m long × 1.2 m high, mesh‐size 1.5 cm) and fish cages (mesh‐size 0.5 cm). LWRs were established as W = 0.0052L3.3249 (<italic>r</italic>2 = .9696) for <italic>A. beijiangensis</italic> and W = 0.0088L3.2405 (<italic>r</italic>2 = .9469) for <italic>B. semifasciolatus</italic>. No previous information is available on LWRs for these two species in FishBase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
