Summary The length‐weight relationship ( LWR ) was evaluated in six fish species occurring in the Rio Morato, which is located in the east state of Paraná, Brazil, in well‐preserved areas of Atlantic Forest. The fishes were collected every 2 months from November/2016 to October/2017 and the fishing equipment used was consisted of dragnets, mesh sieves and gillnets. The specimens were weighed and measured in the laboratory. The mean growth coefficients obtained ranged from 2.5 to 3.2, confirming the range describe in the literature.
