Length-weight relationships of 19 freshwater fishes from the Upo Wetland in South Korea

Abstract

Summary The length–weight relationships (LWRs) for 19 freshwater fish species in Upo Wetland, South Korea, were analyzed. Fish samples were collected quarterly using scoop‐nets (5 mm mesh), casting nets (7 mm mesh) and a fixed shore net (15 mm mesh) from 2007 to 2014. LWRs data for three species have not yet been listed in FishBase.

Evaluation of length–weight relations for 15 fish species (Actinopterygii) from the Seomjin River basin in South Korea

“…Thus, the relation between log a and b for S. gracilis was quite weak in FishBase. In particular, two species (S. gracilis and S. chankaensis tsuchigae) were recently observed in Korea (Kim et al 2017, Chae et al 2019. Their morphological difference (e.g., lateral lines) is discernable (Fig.…”

“…With this concern in mind, we noticed that two subspecies of our study (S. gracilis magimae and S. chankaensis tsuchigae) were stipulated as one species, Squalidus gracilis (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846) (see Froese andPauly 2019, Fricke et al 2020). Given that these two species have been reported taxonomically disparate in Korea (Kim et al 2017, Chae et al 2019, it is reasonable to estimate their LWRs separately (Table 1). Their morphological difference (e.g., lateral lines) is discernable (Fig.…”

Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska–Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

“…Amur Goby. To at least 5.8 cm (2.3 in) TL (Kim et al 2017). The "58 cm" in Froese and Pauly (2019) is a misreading of "5.8 cm" in Kim et al (2017).…”

“…To at least 5.8 cm (2.3 in) TL (Kim et al 2017). The "58 cm" in Froese and Pauly (2019) is a misreading of "5.8 cm" in Kim et al (2017). Many parts of eastern Asia; introduced into western United States, currently in Columbia River Estuary and associated waters (Van Tassell 2011).…”
