Summary The present study provides the length‐weight relationships ( LWR s) of two Ambassid fish species, Parambassis dayi (Bleeker, 1874) and Parambassis thomassi (Day, 1870) from River Pamba in Southern Western Ghats, India. Fishes were collected on a monthly basis between April 2014 to March 2015 using gill nets (1.0–3.0 cm), cast nets (1.0–2.0 cm) and seine nets (1.0 cm). The b values in the LWR s were estimated as 3.01 for P. dayi and 3.14 for P. thomassi . No previous information is available on LWR s for these two species in FishBase.
