Summary A comparative growth analysis of two sciaenid species ( Plagioscion squamosissimus Heckel and Plagioscion monti Soares) in different water types of the Central Amazon The growth of two sciaenid species P. squamosissimus and P. monti was comparatively described in black and white water of the Amazon by determining the age by means of daily rings on otoliths. Growth was described according to v. Bertalanffy's and Pauly's equations. A comparison between black and white water proved the expected faster growth of white water fishes.
