Patterns of investment of the reproductive strategy of two stream-dwelling Characidae

Abstract: The reproductive strategy of two congeneric species (Astyanax janeiroensis -AJ and Astyanax hastatus -AH) was assessed, in order to address the costs imposed by different investment patterns, on four major life history characters: migratory behaviour, breeding time, fecundity and egg size. Altitudinal segregation of young and adult individuals plus data from the literature indicated that AJ is a migratory species, whereas AH is non migratory. Breeding season (BS) analysis revealed that AH was reproductively ac… Show more

“…O cálculo da fecundidade relativa permite comparar a fecundidade entre espécies de diferentes tamanhos e, dessa forma, estimar o investimento energético proporcional de cada espécie ou população na produção de ovócitos (ADEBISI, 1987;AZEVEDO et al, 2000AZEVEDO et al, , 2010GONÇALVES et al, 2005). Contudo, ainda existem poucos dados sobre fecundidade relativa de caracídeos, os quais referem-se a espécies de tamanho reduzido, cujos valores variam entre 0,27 e 0,74 ovócitos mg -1 (SILVANO et al, 2003;LAMPERT et al, 2004LAMPERT et al, , 2007GONÇALVES et al, 2005;MAZZONI & IGLESIAS-RIOS, 2007;AZEVEDO et al, 2010) ). Este resultado pode indicar um baixo investimento energético para produção de ovócitos.…”

“…We found that 19 out of the 34 species captured in the present study (aproximately 55%) are present both in streams and the main rivers of the basin (Ferreira & Petrere Jr., 2009). In addition, Mazzoni et al (2004) and Mazzoni & Iglesias-Rios (2007) found evidence of short reproductive migrations for some species of Characidae of Atlantic forest streams, while Mazzoni & Iglesias-Rios (2012) by means of a mark-recapture experiment, found a group of fishes (Astyanax janeiroensis, A. hastatus, Parotocinclus maculicauda, and Pimelodella lateristriga), which they called "Long Movement group", that moved at least 6 km within 60 days. Nonetheless, the Mantel test indicated a non-significant influence of site proximities upon assemblage structure, suggesting that including a third spatial matrix would be unhelpfull to reduce significantly the unexplained variation of fish-environment association.…”

“…Mazzoni and Iglesias-Rios, 2007). It composes an area where conservation studies are quite recommended (Mazzoni et al, 2000;Myers et al, 2000) and trophic studies should help in the development of managing strategies (Windell and Bowen, 1978;Royce, 1996).…”
