Summary Length–weight relationships of two cavefish species, Sinocylocheilus jii Zhang & Dai, (Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica, 17, 1992, 377) and Sinocyclocheilus guilinensis Ji, 1985, were calculated based on data from 186 specimens sampled by gill nets and fish traps from subterranean rivers of the Pearl River basin in China between 2008 and 2014. Results indicate that mean LWR parameters b for these two cavefish species are 2.88 and 2.61, respectively. A maximum size was recorded for S. jii .
