Summary Length–weight relationships ( LWR s) were evaluated for six freshwater species from the Seyhan Reservoir (south‐eastern Anatolia, Turkey): Alburnus orontis , Capoeta angorae , Capoeta erhani , Garra rufa , Luciobarbus pectoralis and Salaria fluviatilis . A total of 525 specimens were captured from five locations using gill nets, scoop nets, and trammel nets of various mesh sizes in November 2012, March 2013 and September 2013. Regressions of all species were found to be significant. These are the first LWR reports for these species from the Seyhan River basin, and the first LWR reports for three of these species ( Alburnus orontis , Garra rufa , Luciobarbus pectoralis ) from inland waters of Turkey.
