Length-weight relationships of fish species from Lower Paranapanema River Basin, Upper Parana River Basin, Brazil

摘要

Length-weight relationships were estimated for six fish species occurring in direct tributaries of the Lower Paranapanema River Basin. Data is described for the first time for five species and new measurements are provided for one species in the FishBase database. Studies of fish diversity are critical for species management and conservation, especially in this basin, which has suffered from many anthropical impacts.
