Summary The present study describes the length–weight ( LWR ) and length–length relationships ( LLR ) of Puntius chelynoides (McClelland, 1839), commonly known as the dark mahseer, a coldwater fish species which inhabits fast‐flowing hill‐streams of India and Nepal. A total of 422 specimens were collected between January and June 2010 from a spring‐fed stream in Garhwal Himalaya, India. No information regarding LWR s, LLR s or K of this species was available in FishBase.
