Summary Length‐weight relationships ( LWR s) and length‐length relationships ( LLR s) for three small indigenous fishes ( Esomus danrica , Pachypterus atherinoides and Salmostoma bacaila ) were reported from the Payra River, southern Bangladesh. Samples were collected using traditional fishing gear including cast net (mesh size ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 cm), seine net (mesh size ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 cm) and square lift net (mesh size ~ 1.0 cm) in August to September 2017. Allometric coefficient ( b ) values were 2.66 for E. danrica , 3.08 for P . atherinoides and 3.06 for S. bacaila . The LLR s were also highly significant with r 2 ≥ .956.
