Summary Presented are length–weight relationship (LWR) estimates for 15 native fish species captured between 2010 and 2011, in the Munim River, Brazilian Cerrado basin. Samples were collected using gillnets of four different mesh sizes (3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 cm), hand nets and a covo ‐fish trap. Additionally provided are the first LWRs for eight species, specially the recently described species Charax awa Guimarães, Brito, Ferreira & Ottoni, 2018.
