Souza-Lima et al. provide raw biometric data for 19 stream-dwelling fish species from an Atlantic Forest coastal basin in southeastern Brazil. The dataset includes species name, total length in mm, and body mass in g, used to estimate length-weight relationships via the equation W = a × TL^b. It is accompanied by an R script for reproducing the analysis and generating result files.
Use Cases
- Modeling fish growth parameters based on species-specific length and weight data
- Estimating biomass from length measurements for ecological surveys based on the provided LWR equation
- Comparing allometric relationships across different stream fish species within the Atlantic Forest biome
- Reproducing statistical analyses of biometric data using the included R script
Strengths
- Includes raw data and reproducible R script for analysis
- Focuses on 19 distinct fish species from a specific biome
- Provides final LWR estimates in a formatted output table
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
Provenance
- Source
- Souza-Lima, Rosana
- Collection Method
