Summary This work analyzes the relationship between length and weight for 25 fish species belonging to 15 families in three mixohaline/hypersaline coastal lagoons in S outheastern B razil. The study presents the first estimation of L – WR s for six species ( A nchoa tricolor , B revoortia aurea , J enynsia multidentata , C tenogobius boleosoma , M icrogobius meeki and B athygobius soporator ) and maximum lengths for four species ( A therinella brasiliensis , J enynsia multidentata , P oecilia vivipara and M icrogobius meeki ) that are greater than previously recorded.
