The fish were collected between June 2002 and October 2003 during three experimental fishing campaigns using gillnets deployed overnight. All fish were measured (total length) to the nearest mm and weighed to the nearest g (total weight). Coefficients of determination of the LWRs (r²) were mostly high (> 0.9). The values of the allometry coefficient b ranged from 2.651 (Chrysichthys auratus) to 3.270 (Brycinus leuciscus). This study provides new information about LWRs of two fish species, which have been published but are not yet available in Fishbase (Distichodus brevipinnis and Mormyrus rume) specialized MALI 034 040 45 1 59-62 2021 0399-0974 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081711 10.26028/cybium/2021-451-007 0399-0974 [F B010081711] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010081711 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2021-03-25/010081711.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-03-22 2025-02-24 fdi:010081711 fre
