“…Thus, small variations in the distinction between the measured and predicted values or those presented here vs. literature might be influenced by several factors, including the number of sampled specimens, gonad maturity, sex, and growth phase (Froese 2006). The variations in b values, compared with the available records, may be influenced by habitat type (Ruiz-Campos et al 2010), food availability, condition factor (Froese et al 2011), formalin effects on specimens (Teixeira de Mello et al 2011) or other uncontrolled factors such as seasons or extreme environments (Costa et al 2014, Wang et al 2016. Therefore, the relative growth parameters allow determining whether somatic growth is isometric or allometric (Araújo and Vicentini 2001).…”

“…The relative growth parameters reported are within the range documented in the literature for all ten species. These are widely distributed with a widespread occurrence on the South-southeastern coast of Brazil (Vianna et al 2004, Haimovici and Velasco 2000, Costa et al 2014, Franco et al 2014. Genetic, environmental (resource availability), and population factors (density) may influence length parameters (TL max and L ∞ ).…”

“…Thus, stock assessment becomes a basic management approach to help the understanding of growth (relative to the individual and the population) and death of fish (Jennings et al 2001). It also contributes to making predictions about the exploitation of fish populations, which may help for the selection of alternative management choices (Costa and Araújo 2003, Froese 2006, Garcia and Duarte 2006, Costa et al 2014, Sá-Oliveira et al 2015.…”

Small-scale fisheries in Brazil contribute to a significant share of total fish production, accessing a large variety of species. Life history parameters from these resources are important for their management and conservation, based on primary data. The objective of this article is to generate growth parameters and mortality rates of ten fish populations from a coastal zone in Southeastern Brazil. Monthly samples were taken between January 2011 and November 2014 from landings of the beach-seine fishery in an area adjacent to the entrance of the Guanabara Bay. All fishes were measured (total length) and weighed. The length-weight relationships (LWR) were estimated by linear regression analysis on log-transformed data of the equation: W = aLb. The Von Bertalanffy Growth Function (VBGF) was fitted to size-at-age data to obtain growth parameters (K, L∞). The length-converted catch curve was used for estimating the instantaneous total mortality (Z). Taylor’s equations provided an independent estimate of the natural mortality (M) and longevity. The difference between Z and M derived Fishing mortality (F). A total of 2,938 individuals from ten fish species were used to determine the length-weight relationships. Harengulaclupeola (Cuvier, 1829) has a new maximum length record for the FishBase LWR database. Sardinellabrasiliensis (Steindachner, 1879) presented the smallest and largest size recorded for LWR observed in the literature and FishBase database. Upeneusparvus showed the greatest total length, while Trichiuruslepturus Linnaeus, 1758, Orthopristisruber (Cuvier, 1830) and Dactylopterusvolitans (Linnaeus, 1758) presented the smallest sizes for LWR in FishBase. The other species showed parameters within the expected values for each group. The performance index combining information from K and L∞ presented values between 2.32 and 3.76 and were considered appropriate for the populations evaluated. Fishing was the primary source of mortality for Caranxcrysos (Mitchill, 1815), Eucinostomusargenteus Baird & Girard, 1855, S.brasiliensis and U.parvus, and less important for Cynoscionjamaicensis (Vaillant & Bocourt, 1883), D.volitans, O.ruber, Selenesetapinnis (Mitchill, 1815), T.lepturus and H.clupeola. The parameters generated may be used for the management and conservation of the species’ stocks.

“…The continental shelf is dominated by the demersal sciaenids (Vianna et al 2004), pelagic clupeiforms and carangids (Vazdos-Santos & Rossi-Wongtschowski 2013). In coastal environments (mangroves, rockpools), gerreids, gobiids and Atherinella brasiliensis usually predominate , Costa et al 2014. Differences among LWR of these studies were expected due to different fishing gears, areas and periods, especially when it is considered the space (and time) scale of the present study.…”

Biota Neotropica. 16(3): e20160192. http://dx.doi. org/10.1590/1676-0611- BN-2016-0192 Abstract: Aiming to analyse the growth pattern, to allow biomass estimates and consequently to subsidize the ecosystem modelling, the length-weight relationships (LWR) of 39 fish species from the Araçá Bay, a subtropical coastal area chosen as model for a holistic study comprising environmental, social and economic aspects have been estimated. The objective of this study was to provide LWR for the fishes from the area itself, accurately based on the life stages of fish populations present there. Particularly for Albula vulpes, Trachinotus carolinus, T. falcatus, Archosargus rhomboidalis and Kyphosus sectatrix these are the first records of LWR in Brazil. Resumo: Com o objetivo de analisar o padrão de crescimento e viabilizar estimativas de biomassas e, consequentemente, subsidiar a modelagem ecossistêmica, foram estimadas as relações comprimento-peso (RCP) de 39 espécies de peixes da baía do Araçá, uma área costeira subtropical escolhida como modelo para um estudo holístico compreendendo aspectos ambientais, sociais e econômicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi fornecer RCP para os peixes da própria área, baseadas nas estágios de vida das populações ictiícas ali presentes. Especialmente para Albula vulpes, Trachinotus carolinus, T. falcatus, Archosargus rhomboidalis e Kyphosus sectatrix estas são as primeiras estimativas de RCP no Brasil. Palavras-chave: baía do Araçá, crescimento relativo, modelo de Huxley, Brasil.

“…The length-weight relation (LWR) in fish biology is useful for predicting weight from length values, indicating a fish condition, and conducting a fish stock assessment (Lin andTzeng 2010, Romdhani et al 2013). The relation may also provide information for between region comparisons of species life histories and population dynamics (da Costa et al 2014).…”

da Costa M.R., Tubino R.A., Monteiro-Neto C. 2018. Length-weight relations of juvenile and adult fishes (Actinopterygii) from shallow waters in the lower Guanabara Bay estuary, Brazil. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 48 (2): 199-204.Abstract. Length-weight relations (LWR) are presented herewith for 15 fish species from shallow waters of three sandy beaches in the lower Guanabara Bay estuary, south-eastern Brazil. The following species were examined: sampled monthly over a four-year period between January 2012 and December 2015. This study presents the first length-weight relation of Diplodus argenteus for Brazil. The LWRs for all taxa included juveniles and sub-adults within size ranges commonly found in shallow waters of tropical sandy beaches. Only the adults (TL > L 50 ) of Harengula clupeola and Sphoeroides testudineus were recorded in the area. The length-weight parameter b for all species ranged from 2.66 to 3.32, with regression coefficients (r 2 ) between 0.97 and 0.99.
