“…This difference can be explained, since the estimate available in FishBase is performed using the total length and based on all LWR estimates for species of similar body shape (Froese and Pauly, 2021;Froese et al, 2014). These differences were also indicated for teleost fish of the Negro River Basin (Olentino et al, 2023;Lubich et al, 2020Lubich et al, , 2021Olentino et al, 2021;Barros et al, 2018;Corrêa et al, 2016;Quara de Carvalho Santos et al, 2012). The studies by Duncan et al (2016) and Freire (2015), which provide information on the a and b parameters for P. wallacei, do not show the confidence intervals, and comparison is not possible, however the integer values were close.…”
