Weight‐length relationships of 14 species of icefishes (Salangidae) endemic to East Asia

Weight‐length relationships of 14 species of icefishes (Salangidae) endemic to East Asia Summary Length‐weight relationships (LWRs) of 14 species from 17 populations of salangids, which cover most species in the family Salangidae, were analyzed from 12 regions in China and Japan. A total of 952 specimens were used to estimate the relationship parameters. The allometric factor b values varied from 2.56 in Salanx cuvieri to 3.53 in Neosalanx oligodontis. Additionally, the condition factor a value was calculated setting b = 3 in the remaining six species. Nine maximum‐size records and 17 LWRs of salangids are established for the first time, which will fill in some of the empty spaces on rare neotenic species in the Fishbase. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Ichthyology Wiley

Abstract

Summary Length‐weight relationships (LWRs) of 14 species from 17 populations of salangids, which cover most species in the family Salangidae, were analyzed from 12 regions in China and Japan. A total of 952 specimens were used to estimate the relationship parameters. The allometric factor b values varied from 2.56 in Salanx cuvieri to 3.53 in Neosalanx oligodontis. Additionally, the condition factor a value was calculated setting b = 3 in the remaining six species. Nine maximum‐size records and 17 LWRs of salangids are established for the first time, which will fill in some of the empty spaces on rare neotenic species in the Fishbase.
