Summary Length–weight relationships ( LWR s) for three small indigenous fish species from the lower Brahmaputra in Assam, India: Glyptothorax telchitta , Nangra assamensis , and Gudusia chapra were studied on a monthly basis from February 2015 to January 2016. Various fishing gear types were employed: cast nets (9′ ½”), gillnets (30 × 0.9 m, 0.5″; 60 × 3 m, 1.5″) and mosquito nets (20 × 6 m, 0.04″). No previous reference is available on LWR data for two of these species.
