Summary Length–weight ( LWR ) and length–length ( LLR ) relationships were estimated for four shad species of the genus Alosa , reported from along the southern Caspian Sea coast, north of Iran in a study from March 2014. Two of these species are endemic to the Caspian Sea. The length–weight parameter b for these species ranged from 2.99 to 3.24, with regression coefficients ( r 2 ) ranging from 0.91 to 0.99. All LLR s were highly significant ( r 2 > 0.96).
