This work provides new length‐weight information for seven species of freshwater fishes. The analyzed specimens were collected monthly during a year (April 2018–March 2019) in a coastal lagoon system and its associated streams in southern Uruguay. During each sampling campaign, fishes were captured using gillnets in the lagoon and electrofishing in the streams. This study reports a new maximum size for four species and the first length‐weight relationship report for Gymnogeophagus terrapurpura . Length‐weight estimates and their confidence intervals are provided for all species.
