The length‐weight relationships (LWR) for three fish species collected from the Nujiang River, China, were determined. Fishes were caught quarterly by drift gill net (stretched mesh size: 4 cm, depth: 2–4 m) and cast net (mesh size 1 cm; depth: 1–2 m) from May 2016 to July 2017. The values of parameter b in the LWR equations were estimated as 2.69 for Balitora nujiangensis Zhang & Zheng, 1983, 2.80 for Glyptothorax deqinensis Mo & Chu, 1986 and 2.94 for Pseudexostoma brachysoma Chu, 1979, respectively.
