Summary Length‐weight relationships ( LWR s) were evaluated for 11 fish species from the Yibin reach of the upper Yangtze River, southwest China. Samples were collected from April 2012 to January 2013. Length‐weight relationships for 11 species were unknown to FishBase, and new maximum lengths are recorded for five species. Results indicate that parameter b ranged from 2.586 ( Sinibotia superciliaris ) to 3.164 ( Rhinogobio ventralis ), and r 2 values ranged from 0.931 ( Sinibotia superciliaris ) to 0.996 ( Silurus meridionalis ).
