%X the growth of the annual fish cynopoecilus melanotaenia was studied in its natural environment, in order to obtain information about its biology. a total of 797 specimens of c. melanotaenia were collected on a monthly basis between april 1994 and march 1995 in a temporary water body, located in rio grande do sul state, brazil. the growth curve in total length suggests, to both sexes, a fast initial growth. males present a smaller growth rate than females, but they attain a higher average maximum length than the females.
