We report the length-weight relationships (LWR) for 11 fish species inhabiting headwater streams in the Araripe and Ibiapaba plateaus, Brazilian semiarid. Values of r2, a and b ranged respectively from .953 to .998, 0.010 to 0.043 and 2.81 to 3.69. Our reports on LWR are pioneer in humid forest enclaves at the Caatinga biome. Such enclaves of forest can be a checkpoint to climate change, but are under strong human pressure and remain under low investigation.

I think, planetcatfish database needs modification :

https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/sp ... es_id=6708
Aspidoras rochai - Ihering, 1907, Size =40mm SL => this Science News : 1.68-4.42 SL (near 4.5 cm max)

https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/sp ... es_id=6710
Aspidoras gabrieli - Wosiacki, Graças Pereira & Reis, 2014, NO SIZE => this Science News : 1.25-3.88 SL (near 3.5-4.0 cm max)

Thank you @Horlack. A. rochai update submitted. I see the lack of a max SL on A. gabrieli, however, the paper referred to Corydoras garbei, not Aspidoras gabrieli. I'll grab the max SL off of Fishbase and update that for A. gabrieli; C. garbei gets much larger than reported here, so no change is necessary for that species.

Cheers, Eric

oups, a bit mistake !
I have say : "Aspidoras gabrieli "
The document say "Corydoras gabrieli" !
You are true

ok for A. rochai
