Summary We analyzed the length‐weight relation (LWRs) of 14 species of fish, sampled in 30 sandy beaches along the Acre river, encompassing approximately 300 km of the river between the municipalities of Brasileia and Rio Branco, Acre state, Brazil, during the draught period in 2017 (August and September). For sampling, we used a picaré type trawl with 9 m of length, 2 m of height and 5 mm mesh between opposing knots, during the day and night periods. New information was made available for eight fish species.
