Summary Here the length–weight relationships ( LWR , hereafter) of Pareiorhina pelicicei , Trichomycterus candidus , T. pirabitira , and T. piratymbara are provided. Samples of each species were collected between April and July 2017 with a hand net (1.5 mm mesh) in three sites from the upper Paraná River basin, Southeastern Brazil. These results increase knowledge about the LWR of Neotropical freshwater fish.
