“…Length‐weight relationships (LWRs) are basic biological parameters extensively used for estimating approximate weight of a particular species using known length (Baek et al, ; Chaklader, Siddik, Hanif, & Nahar, ; Siddik, Hanif, & Chaklader, ). Moreover, this knowledge can be used for many fisheries biological investigations, i.e., total biomass, fish condition (fatness, feeding and breeding state), age structure, growth rates among areas, regional comparisons of fish life history and species specific environmental suitability (Froese, Tsikliras, & Stergiou, ; Jenllyman, Booker, Crow, & Jellyman, ; Le Cren, ), which are significant for developing fish conservation strategies and ensuring sustainable development (Christensen & Walters, ; Nahar, Hanif, Siddik, Chaklader, & Islam, ; Ricker, ; Siddik, Chaklader, Hanif, Islam, & Fotedar, ). In spite of having different applications, LWRs data are still insufficient for many fish species throughout the world (Froese, & Pauly, ).…”
