Abstract: Distribution and abundance of the ichthyofauna of surf zone in sandy beaches of the Rio de Janeiro Municipality, Brazil, were studied aiming to detect seasonal and wave exposure gradient influences on the fish community structure. Quarterly samplings were performed at 10 sites according to the exposure degree (sheltered, exposed and very exposed) between January and November 2004, by using beach seines with hauls carried out perpendicular to the coastline. A total of 6,464 fishes in 38 species and 22 families … Show more

“…These observations corroborate the hypothesis that the degree of exposure is a primary factor shaping local assemblages of fishes. This pattern has been demonstrated in other studies in tropical and subtropical regions (Romer, 1990;Clark, 1997;Jovanovic et al, 2007, Vasconcellos et al, 2007.…”

“…At these beaches, a constant supply of food has been observed because of the primary production and the absence of large predators (Inui et al, 2010). As species indicative of sheltered environments, S. testudineus (Felix et al, 2007), M. liza (Pessanha & Araújo, 2003;Vasconcellos et al, 2007) and Bathygobius soporator (Valenciennes, 1837) (Oliveira-Silva et al, 2008) are prominent. Furthermore, the small size of the individuals increases their agility in shallow coastal water connectivity between the fish assemblage.…”

“…Juvenile fish recruit in the surf zone because this area provides rich food resources such as components of zooplankton and benthic macrofauna and protection against predators provided by the shallowness, turbidity and turbulence of these areas (e.g. LASIAK, 1981;CLARK et al, 1996;ARAÚJO, 2003;VASCONCELLOS et al, 2007). Furthermore, beaches located adjacent to estuaries, as are the beaches that we studied, are considered migration routes of many larvae and juvenile fish, which spend one or more phases of their life cycle within estuaries (COWLEY et al, 2001;WATT-PRINGLE;STRYDOM, 2003).…”
