Abstract :The length-weight relationships insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LWRs); are one of the most useful parameters for fishery management and have importance in fisheries science. The present study describes the length-weight relationships for four freshwater fish species from the Asi River system insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hatay, Turkey);, namely Cobitis anabelae Freyhof, Bayçelebi & Geiger, 2018, Cobitis levantina Krupp & Moubayed, 1992, Oxynamecheilus hamvii insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Krupp & Schneider, 1991); and Oxynamecheilus namiri insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Krupp & Schneider, 1991);. A total of 154 specimens collected for this study was caught by fishing gears from June 2017 and March 2018. This study presented the first reference on LWRs for C. anabelae, C. levantina, and O. namiri from inland waters of Turkey. Besides, this data also will be helpful in FishBase.
