The length–weight relationships (LWRs) of a total of 16 species belonging to the genus Pseudophoxinus were analysed. Fish samples were collected by electroshocker (DEKA 3000 portable electroshocker; frequency 50–55 Hz; 50–60 cm fishing depth) and gill nets (for the purchased from fishermen) in some water bodies in Anatolia from June 2006 to January 2014. The values of parameter b in the LWR equations varied from 2.756 ( Pseudophoxinus firati ) to 3.407 ( P. elizavetae ). This study also provides a new maximum length data for three species ( P. anatolicus , P. mehmeti , P. zeregi ).
