“…Compared with published data, O. niger and A. robertsi had maximum length values higher than those observed in the Xingu River (Giarrizzo et al., ). The same occurred for G. neambi in relation to headwater stream specimens sampled in the Amazon Basin (Oliveira, Andrade, Piteira, & Giarrizzo, ).…”

Length-weight relationship of six freshwater fish species in upper-middle Tocantins River basin (Brazil)

et al. 2018

Summary Length–weight relationships (LWRs) were analyzed for six abundant fish species in the upper‐middle Tocantins River, northeastern Brazil. Analyses included data from 486 specimens sampled in five expeditions between August 2013 and May 2015 by gillnets. New maximum values of total lengths for the literature and FishBase were presented for six species, as well as first time estimates of LWR for Galeocharax gulo, Curimata acutirostris and Aphanotorulus emarginatus.

“…(Froese 2006). Additionally, the knowledge from LWR is essential to assess fish stocks, fisheries, and environmental monitoring programs (Froese et al 2011;Giarrizzo et al 2015). According to Freitas et al (2014), the LWR studies become relevant due the need to comprehend the fish lifecycle, principally regions where fisheries represent one of the most important economic activities and fish stocks are the main food source for many traditional communities.…”

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 Orders (Characiformes, Siluriformes and Clupeiformes) were analyzed. The parameter b varied from 2.680 to 3.698. The LWR were shown for the first time for two species: Anostomoides laticeps and Ageneiosus polystictus. Finally, this research emphasizes the importance of LWR studies in the Amazon and the use of primary data for fisheries management plans. KEYWORDS: growth pattern, alometry, fish, Amazonia.Relação peso-comprimento de dez espécies de peixes do Rio Nhamundá, Bacia Amazônica, Brasil RESUMOEstudos acerca da relação peso-comprimento em peixes são importantes ferramentas para descrever diversos aspetos biológicos das espécies. Consequentemente, estes estudos são importantes em decorrência da necessidade de compreensão do ciclo de vida dos peixes. Sendo assim, este estudo visou estabelecer a relação peso-comprimento de dez espécies mais comuns de peixes na região do baixo Rio Nhamundá, afluente da margem esquerda do Rio Amazonas. A captura dos peixes foi realizada em janeiro de 2008, utilizando redes de emalhar. Foram analisados 807 indivíduos, pertencentes a dez espécies e três Ordens (Characiformes, Siruliformes e Clupeiformes). O coeficiente alométrico "b" variou de 2,680 à 3,698. A relação peso-comprimento é apresentada pela primeira vez para duas espécies: Anostomoides laticeps e Ageneiosus polystictus. Por fim, esse estudo enfatiza a importância de estudos de relação peso-comprimento de peixes na Amazônia e o uso de dados primários para fins conservacionistas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: padrão de crescimento, alometria, peixe, Amazônia.

Length-Weight relationships of 23 fish species from floodplain ecosystems of the Andean Amazon piedmont, Peru

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SummaryLength-weight relationships (LWRs) for 23 freshwater fish species from the Andean Amazon piedmont in Peru are presented in this study. Fishes were captured between 2009 and 2010 on lagoons from three basins; Amazonas (Ampiyacu and Apayacu) and Ucayali (Pachitea) using gillnets. In this study, new LWRs are reported for 20 species of 23 species analyzed. The study provides new information on less-studied species and can serve as a basis for management of fisheries and conservation of this area.
