Summary Length–weight relationships ( LWR s) were estimated for 15 fish species representating 15 genera and six families from the Hunan Hupingshan National Nature Reserve, China. Six species are endemic to China, one of which is also endemic to the Yangtze River. The b values of all species were within the expected ranges, varying between 2.68 and 3.26. Data of 11 species represent the first description of LWRs and nine species have new records of maximum length.
