Length-weight relationships for 19 headwater fish species from streams in the Sinos River basin, southern Brazil

Abstract

Summary This study reports the length–weight relationship estimates (LWRs) for 19 fish species inhabiting low order headwater streams in the Sinos River basin of southern Brazil. Between 2010 and 2014, 19 species at 47 sites were sampled in 10 sub‐basins by electrofishing in winter and summer. For two species, Bryconamericus iheringii and Phalloceros caudimaculatus, the estimates in this study offer new maximum size ranges compared to previous studies.
