Length-length and length-weight relationships of fish species from the Lake Eyre Basin, Australia

The Lake Eyre Basin in central Australia is one of the world's last unregulated dryland river systems. To facilitate future research in this area, the relationships between total length, standard length, and wet weight for 10 widespread, large-bodied freshwater fish species are presented. All linear relationships were strong (r(2) > 0.90) and values of the exponent b of the length-weight relationships ranged from 2.786 to 3.336. These results provide novel baseline data for species in this area.
