I need reliable resources to find the standard weight / standard ratio of danio rerio fish.
Maybe this review about husbandry of zebrafish can be useful for you to determine standard weight and length of this species

The fish muscle growth is not lineal and occurs through a combination of recruitment of new muscle fibers (hyperplasia) and an increase of the size of existents fibers (hypertrophy) in post-juvenile stages
(Johnston 1999; Mommsen 2001). In contrast to other fishes, zebrafish have determinate growth, the number of muscle fibers is established and fixed at the time of the birth; and growth is solely due to hypertrophy of fibers already formed (Du 2004). This condition does not provide a general model for muscle growth since it only reaches a modest ultimate body size (3–5 cm) (Johnston 1999; Mommsen 2001).
The average weight and length at 4, 12 and 20 weeks measured by Ulloa et al. (2011), are 3.5; 74.9; 213.4 mg and 6.4; 15.3; 21.3 mm, respectively.
