Length-weight relationships (LWRs) for four species are presented, captured in the Dogxung Zangbo River, a main tributary of Yarlung Tsangpo Tibet, China. Fish were summer and autumn between May 2006 September 2017 with three fyke nets from six sites.The results LWRs Schizothorax oconnori Lloyd, 1908, Schizopygopsis stoliczkai Steindachner, 1866, Triplophysa orientalis (Herzenstein, 1888), Glyptosternon maculatum (Regan, 1905) provide basic data useful fisheries science. They can assist converting length to weight biomass cases where not be taken during field studies. If regularly an annual monitoring programm together other parameters, using standardized sampling procedure, they also helpful stock assessment fish River upper reaches basin.
