Length-weight relationship in ten fish species from the Nhamundá River, the Amazon Basin, Brazil

Abstract: Studies on the length-weight relationship (LWR) of fishes are an important tool to describe several biological aspects of the species. Consequently, these studies are relevant due the necessity of comprehension about fish life cycle. Thus, this study aimed to establish the length-weight relationship of the ten most common fish in the Lower Nhamundá River, left tributary of the Amazon River. The capture of fish was conducted in January 2008 using gill nets. A total of 807 individuals, ten species and three Orde… Show more

“…However this difference falls within expected values found for several freshwater Neotropical species (Giarrizzo et al, 2011;Freitas et al, 2017). The LWR variation can be associated with particular populations, and with season and annual changes in environmental conditions (Froese, 2006).…”

“…Curimatopsis melanura was collected in an unnamed tributary of the Rio Nhamundá, a left bank river basin between the Rio Urubu and Rio Trombetas in the middle Rio Amazonas. The stretch has clear water and drains lowland Amazon rainforest nearly 40 m above sea level within the Floresta Estadual de Faro (Ávila‐Pires et al, ; Freitas et al, ). The ichthyofauna of the Rio Nhamundá is poorly known, with Collins et al .…”
