Length–weight relationship of seven fish species from the temporary habitat, Pantanal wetland, Brazil

The length–weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated of seven fish species from 22 localities in the Pantanal wetland between Mach 2006 and April 2011. Fish were sampled using seven gill nets (20 × 1.5 m; mesh size: 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30 and 50 mm between opposing knots) and throw traps (made of 1...

Description
Summary:	The length–weight relationships (LWRs) were estimated of seven fish species from 22 localities in the Pantanal wetland between Mach 2006 and April 2011. Fish were sampled using seven gill nets (20 × 1.5 m; mesh size: 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30 and 50 mm between opposing knots) and throw traps (made of 1 m3 metal cubes, covered by a 1.5 mm nylon mesh). Standard length and weight were measured and used to calculate the LWR parameters. Values for parameter b varied from 2.87 (Apistogramma borellii) to 3.29 (Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus) and, such values are within the expected range.
