Understanding the structure and dynamics of freshwater food webs remains a challenge for ecol-ogists, mainly due to factors, mechanisms, and processes that maintain communities must be con-sidered. This study aims to analyze the state-of-the-art on food web on freshwater fish communitiesthrough a systematic literature review and applying the co-words bibliometric technique. Particu-larly, developed countries have increased the study of food webs in the last years. The evaluationof the different ecosystem components like phytoplankton, zooplankton, and aquatic macroinver-tebrates are important to considered in food webs, and stable isotope analysis accompanied bystomach content as methodologies. Food web is usually represented by models (e.g., Ecopath withEcosim) or diagrams (food networks connecting species). Further research is needed on describefood webs in freshwater system from developing countries.
