Within a minimum model for neutron stars consisting of nucleons, electrons and muons at $\beta$-equilibrium using about a dozen Equation of States (EOSs) from microscopic nuclear many-body theories and 40,000 EOSs randomly generated using an explicitly isospin-dependent parametric EOS model for high-density neutron-rich nucleonic matter within its currently known uncertainty range, we study correlations among the f-mode frequency, its damping time and the tidal deformability as well as the compactness of neutron stars. Except for quark stars, both the f-mode frequency and damping time of canonical neutron stars are found to scale with the tidal deformability independent of the EOSs used. Applying the constraint on the tidal deformability of canonical neutron stars $\Lambda_{1.4}=190^{+390}_{-120}$ extracted by the LIGO+VIRGO Collaborations from their improved analyses of the GW170817 event, the f-mode frequency and its damping time of canonical neutron stars are limited to 1.67 kHz - 2.18 kHz and 0.155 s - 0.255 s, respectively, providing a useful guidance for the ongoing search for gravitational waves from the f-mode oscillations of isolated neutron stars. Moreover, assuming either or both the f-mode frequency and its damping time will be measured precisely in future observations with advanced gravitational wave detectors, we discuss how information about the mass and/or radius as well as the still rather elusive nuclear symmetry energies at supra-saturation densities may be extracted.
