Estimation of growth parameters of five fish species (Actinopterygii) caught in the central Amazon [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2018 For some tropical fishes, the information on growth parameters is still scarce, and few or no records are available in FishBase. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the growth curves for Brycon amazonicus (Spix et Agassiz, 1829 ...
