ResumoThis study evaluated the reproductive characteristics of pike-characids, Boulengerella cuvieri, during the hydrological cycle in the Xingu River, eastern Amazon. The sex ratio was 1:1 and the gonado-somatic index and relative frequency of maturation stages indicate a short breeding season of single phase spawning that coincides with a filling and flood period. Mean standard length at first sexual maturity for female B. cuvieri was estimated to be 22·9 cm.
