Length-weight and length-length relationships were estimated for three species of the genus Squalius. These fish were sampled from the Caspian Sea as well as the Namak and Tigris basins of Iran. Sampling took place between July 2009 and August 2010 using a seine net (15 m long, 2 m width and 5 mm mesh size). The values of the b parameter in the length-weight relationship equations were determined as 3.37 for S. turcicus, 3.25 for S. namak and 3.14 for S. berak (b > 3).
