Relação preliminar das espécies de peixes (Pisces, Elasmobranchii, Actinopterygii) ameaçadas no Brasil

Abstract: PRELlMINARY L1ST OF ENDANGERED FISII SPECIES (PISCES, ELASMOBRAN-CIIII , ACTINOPTERYGII) lN BRAZIL. The Brazilian fish fauna is still poorly known with respect to its diversity and conservation status, pal1icularly of freshwater species. Human activities and population growth are rapidly impacting this fauna to an unchecked extent, so that many fish species are presently threatened. AIso, some areas have been so critically altered that their fish fauna can no longer be properly inventoried. There is an urgent … Show more

“…The specimens reported by Ingenito et al (2004) were collected mainly in creeks surrounded by dense rainforest vegetation in the municípios of Balsa Nova, Lapa, and Quatro Barras east of Curitiba, isolated from the type locality but still belonging to the upper rio Iguaçu basin. We agree with these authors that G. caerulea might not be as rare as indicated by Rosa & Menezes (1996) and is more widespread than our previous evidence indicated, but apparently restricted to patches where vegetation is still abundant. However it was considered threatened in Brazil (Duboc & Menezes, 2008, as Glandulocauda melanopleura).…”

“…On South America, the region that presents the richest freshwater fish fauna of the world, it is settled that 0.4% of the fish species are already endangered. By the end of the 20 th century, at least 78 fish species have been considered endangered in Brazil, specially due to deforestation and pollution of rivers and oceans (Rosa & Menezes, 1996). However, these data seem to be underestimated.…”
