Fatores que influenciam a comunidade de peixes em dois ambientes no baixo Rio das Mortes, Planície do Bananal, Mato Grosso, Brasil

Abstract: A caracterização limnológica e da ictiofauna em uma enseada e no canal principal do Rio das Mortes na sua região de planície de inundação foi feita com o intuito de comparar estes ambientes e indicar os possíveis fatores ambientais que influenciam as comunidades de peixes em cada um deles. Foi observada uma diferença significativa entre enseada e canal do rio em relação às variáveis transparência da água, que se apresentou maior na enseada, e velocidade da água, maior no canal. A diversidade de espécies também… Show more

“…At a large-scale, studies emphasize abiotic factors structuring riverine fish assemblages in temperate and tropical regions (Tejerina-Garro et al, 2005). This situation is also observed in Neotropical rivers where the fish assemblage structure is reported to be influenced by geomorphological factors such as altitude (Suárez & Petrere Júnior, 2007), physicochemical water characteristics such as dissolved oxygen, pH (Jackson et al, 2001;Silva et al, 2007), water temperature (Cetra & Petrere, 2006), flow velocity (Willis et al, 2005) and discharge (Barretto & Uieda, 1998), conductivity, dissolved oxygen and pH (Araújo et al, 2009), or habitat availability (Melo, 2000) and heterogeneity (Towsend, 1996;Willis et al, 2005). In addition, the fish assemblages are influenced by the riparian vegetation, which provides food and increases the availability of aquatic refuges for small fish species through the falling of tree trunks and branches into the water course (Casatti et al, 2003).…”

“…The dominance of the family Characidae in four out of the six sampled environments is related to its great representativeness in continental waters of Brazil (Lowe-McConnell 1999, Reis et al 2003, Silva et al 2007). This family has the greater diversity in the order Characiformes, containing species with very different feeding behaviors and morphologies (Melo et al 2005), which allow the colonization of altered environments .…”

“…Corroborating our results, Kushlan (1976), Saint-Paul et al (2000), Casatti (2006), Cunico et al (2006), Ferreira and Petrere (2007), Silva (2008) and Correa (2008) found higher values of taxonomic diversity in the flood season. The dynamics of flooding promotes increased production and high diversity of fishes, and this plays an important ecological role in the whole basin (Silva et al, 2007). The diminishing richness and diversity that happens from the flood season to the dry season is due to the reduction of water space (Saint-Paul et al, 2000).…”
