Summary This study reports the length–weight relationships ( LWR ) of 15 fish species from Tembeling River, Pahang, Malaysia. The river flows adjacent to the National Park, Pahang, and supplies fishes for local consumption. In addition, this river also functions as a main water body for protection and breeding of commercial fish species. A total of eight LWR s were unknown to FishBase, and five new maximum lengths were identified from the study.
