This study delineates the length-weight (LWR) connection of the Gemon Pool backwater in the Mahi Bajaj Sagar reservoir in Banswara. Samples were collected from the Gemon Pool from March 2020 to February 2021. One hundred specimens were tested to determine the length-weight connection of ten distinct fish species from various families, and a descriptive study was accompanied by them. A descriptive analysis of the length-weight connection among 10 distinct fish species from various families was conducted, involving a total sample of 100 specimens. The regression parameters (a and b) for the length-weight relationship, along with the coefficients of determination (r²) for significant freshwater fish species, including Channa striata, Labeo calbasu, Tilapia mossambica, Chitala chitala, Ompok pabda, Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala, Heteropneustes fossilis, and Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, are presented in Table 1. This is apparent from figures (a) and (j), depicting the coefficients of determination (r²) for all 10 species. The b' value in this study varied from 0.46204 (lowest; Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) to 4.433752 (highest; Tilapia mossambica).
