The different conditions in these three environments were evidenced, such as the seasonality, reproductive period, and the differences between females and males according to the parameters which evidenced the best physiological condition of the fish. In this species, the condition factor varied along the seasons at all three collection sites. The length of the first gonadal maturation and the reproductive period were long, with the highest intensity in the spring and summer.135-141porBrycon opalinusCondition factorLength-weight relationshipBrazilcontrolled studyenvironmental factorfemalefishgonad developmentmalenonhumanphysiologyreproductionriverseasonal variationspringsummerCharaciformesPiscesArtigo10.4025/actascibiolsci.v28i2.1034Acesso aberto2-s2.0-338471295892-s2.0-33847129589.pdf2425382266290470
