- Abstract
Length--weight relations (LWRs) of 12 freshwater fish species from the Geum River, South Korea were estimated. The following species representing the family Cobitidae, Xenocyprididae, Acheilognathidae, and Gobionidae were studied: Cobitis choii Kim et Son, 1984; Opsariichthys uncirostris (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846); Zacco platypus (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846); Tanakia lanceolata (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846); Acheilognathus rhombeus (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846); Hemibarbus labeo (Pallas, 1776); Gobiobotia naktongensis Mori, 1935; Hemibarbus longirostris (Regan, 1908); Microphysogobio jeoni Kim et Yang, 1999; Pseudogobio esocinus (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846); Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846); Squalidus japonicus (Sauvage, 1883). Parameter b ranged from 2.820 (P. parva) to 3.485 (C. choii), and parameter a ranged from 0.0015 (C. choii) to 0.0145 (A. rhombeus). The LWR for C. choii and G. naktongensis, endangered species in South Korea, was estimated for the first time. Our results could be useful as baseline information for evaluating population status.
