Summary Length‐weight relationships ( LWR s) are described for 10 fish species belonging to three families from the Gaula River, a tributary of the Ganga River Basin in India. LWR s for these species were unknown to FishBase, and new maximum lengths are recorded for one species. These results will be useful for fishery research, management and conservation in the least‐explored tributary of the Ganga River Basin.
