Abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate the parameters of the weight-length relationship and the relative condition factor for
Cichla pleiozona and
Serrasalmus rhombeus in Branco River, Madeira river basin, Brazilian Amazon. For this, biometric data were collected between March 2018 and November 2019 in two reservoirs. While
C. pleiozona showed isometric growth (
b = 3),
S. rhombeus showed positive allometric growth (
b > 3). For
C.
pleiozona, the value for parameter
b varied from 3.06 to 3.08 in Cachimbo Alto and Ângelo Cassol, respectively, while for
S.
rhombeus b value was 3.15 in Cachimbo Alto and 3.29 in Angelo Cassol. The relative condition factor was the same in both reservoir for
C.
pleiozona (1.006) and
S.
rhombeus (1.017), while wet season showed lower value then dry season for both species. The parameters of the weight-length relationship and the relative condition factor showed no spatial or temporal variation.
