Summary Length–weight relationships (LWRs) are presented for two fish species: Schistura fasciata Lokeshwor and Vishwanath, 2011 and Schistura reticulofasciata (Singh and Bănărescu, 1982), sampled from the Simsang River in Meghalaya, India. Fishes were caught seasonally from January to December 2015, with cast nets (10–15 mm mesh size) and electrofishing devices.
