Popis: This study provides new length‒weight (LWR) and length‒length relationships (LLR) for 25 indigenous fish species from Xingu River basin. Overall specimens were collected in different aquatic habitats in the Xingu River basin in quarterly collections between 2012 and 2018. The collections were carried out using distinct fishing gears, such as gill nets (20 to 180 mm mesh), seines (3 mm mesh), sieves (1 mm mesh), and casting nets (20 to 60 mm mesh). The present study shows the LWRs for 25 species, and the LLRs for 23 species. In addition, presents the new maximum total lengths for 20 species.
