| Abstract: | The present study established the length–weight relationships (LWRs) for 18 species of freshwater fish from Paraíba do Sul River basin, southeastern Brazil. LWR parameters are estimated for the first time for seven of these species. The allometric coefficient b varied from 2.81 to 3.32. These data complement the effort to understand the biology of one of the most threatened Brazilian basins. |
