- Abstract
The present work reports the length-weight relationships of 14 abundant fish species from a tropical reservoir (Juturnaiba Reservoir), which is the water supply for several municipalities in the northern Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil. Fishes were collected quarterly in 2006 and 2007 using gillnets of different mesh sizes (15-120 mm stretched mesh) that were set up at sunset and retrieved the following morning, remaining for ca. 15 h. Of the 14 species, eight had no records in the FishBase LWR database; new maximum lengths are given for eight species.
