Length-weight relationships (LWRs) and length-length relationships (LLRs) were determined for six fish species: Alburnus alburnus, Blicca bjoerkna, Gymnocephalus cernua, Perca fluviatilis, Rutilus rutilus and Sander lucioperca caught using a Nordic multi-mesh gill net in Lake Kirkkojärvi in Southwestern Finland in August 2015.
