Due to technical problems during the editorial production, the article “First sexual maturity and type of spawning of the fish Conodon nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Amazon coast – Brazil” (DOI https://doi.org/10.1590/1519-6984.284107), published in Brazilian Journal of Biology, vol. 84, 2024, e284107, was published with an error.

On page 6, where the figure on table 4 shows:

Table 4 Macroscopic identification of Conodon nobilis gonads.

Maturational stage	Macroscopic scale
	Filiform gonads, translucent, occupying up to 1/3 of the abdominal cavity thin ovarian wall, without muscle bundles, without oocytes to the naked eye.
Immature (IM)
	Enlargement of the ovaries, occupying 1/3 to 2/3 of the abdominal cavity, with more distinct blood vessels, simultaneous occurrence of several oocyte phases with the presence of some small, opaque oocytes.
Developing (DP)
	Ovaries occupy practically the entire abdominal cavity, blood vessels prominent, oocytes visible macroscopically.
Spawning capable (SP)
	Flaccid ovaries, occupying 2/3 of the abdominal cavity, with blood vessels with a very hemorrhagic characteristic. Some oocytes can still be seen with the naked eye.
Regressing (RP)
	Sexually mature but reproductively inactive phase. The ovaries are small, blood vessels are small but evident.
Regenerating (RGP)

It should show:
