Summary The length–weight relationships for 10 freshwater fish species from an intermittent river basin in a semi‐arid region of Brazil were analyzed. Specimens were caught using a dragnet (3.5 × 2.5; stretched mesh size 5 mm) during running and pool phases from January to November 2015. The specimens were measured for total length and weight. Previously unavailable in FishBase, the detailed length–weight relationships of Compsura heterura , Phenacogaster calverti , and Serrapinnus piaba are reported for the first time. All fish collected presented total lengths ( TL ) lower than the maximum reported in FishBase.
