Length–weight and length‐length parameters are presented for 15 algae scraper fishes species of the genus Capoeta from Iran. Fish specimens were collected using an electrofishing device (ELEMAX, SHX 2000) and hand‐nets (mesh size 5 × 5 mm) in distinctly basins or river drainages of Iran at depths of approximately 0.2–1.2 m during 2005–2017. Significant length–weight and length‐length relationships with high correlation coefficients (>0.95) were found for all species except two.
