  abstract = {{T}o preserve ecosystem services of tropical reservoirs that provide food and income for local populations, it is necessary to monitor fish population temporal dynamics, stock, and yield fishing. {T}he aim of this review is to provide information to who monitor fish populations in tropical reservoirs. {T}he topics, investigative methods, observation scaling, and metrics used in publications since 1960's were inventoried. {T}emporal and spatial variations in fish population and fish production were the primary topics. {S}ince 2000, studies on trophic structures and fish biological parameters have appeared. {E}xperimental fishing with gillnets has been the technique most often used, but others include hydroacoustics for fish stock assessments and modeling to characterize trophic structures. {A}nnual and seasonal scaling approaches dominated, as well as longitudinal/transversal gradient sampling, which permitted the characterization of fish colonization processes and the detection of halieutic resource overexploitation. {F}or modeling approaches, the entire reservoir was considered. {T}he calculated metrics varied depending on the investigation method. {S}pecies richness, number of individuals, and biomass per unit effort were the most common metrics for the different topics. {T}rophic level, effectiveness, and consumption rate were specific to trophic structure. {T}o monitor reservoir fish populations, it is necessary to have an eco-systemic approach.},
