Abstract Length‐weight relationships were determined for three fish species ( Culter oxycephaloides Kreyenberg & Pappenheim, 1908, Liobagrus marginatoides (Wu, 1930) and Pseudobagrus tenuis (Günther, 1873)) from central China. Specimens were collected using fishing gears [set nets (mesh: 1.5 cm × 2.0 cm), hook, drift gill nets (mesh: 1.0 cm × 2.0 cm × 3.0 cm) and electro fishing (depth: 30–60 cm; near the beach) quarterly from September 2016 to August 2017. For Liobagrus marginatoides the LWR estimate includes a new SLmax. Further, the estimate for Pseudobagrues tenuis yielded a relatively high coefficient of correlation despite the relatively small sample size.
