Abstract: A synthesis concerning fishes from Upper Paraná River basin is presented, based on data from fish-collections, literature, and new field samples. Three hundred and ten species, pertaining to 11 orders and 38 families, are referred to the drainage, elevating anterior estimates. Concerning total species, 236 (76.1%) are autochthonous, 67 (21.6%) are allochthonous, and seven (2.3%) are exotic. Principal causes of occurrence of non-native species are: a) dispersal from the Lower Paraná, after the construction of I… Show more

“…The reports identified the fish species as follows: Characiformes (families: Anostomidae, three species; Curimatidae, one species; Erythrinidae, one species; and Serrasalmidae, four species); Siluriformes (families: Auchenipteridae, two species; Callichthyidae, one species; Loricariidae, eight species; and Pimelodidae, three species); Gymnotiformes (families: Gymnotidae, one species; and Sternopygidae, one species); and Perciformes (families: Centropomidae, one species; Cichlidae, 10 species; and Sciaenidae, one species). Eight infected fish species are non-native according to Langeani et al (2007): Cichla sp., C. kelberi, C. ocellaris, G. proximus, G. surinamensis, Metynnis maculatus, P. squamosissimus and Satanoperca pappaterra (Table 2).…”

“…The number of species found outside of their native region has doubled in the last three decades [14]. In Brazil, the number of introduced species is uncertain, due mostly to the lack of surveys and because many regions of Brazilian watersheds are poorly explored [3,6,15]. Nevertheless, the few surveys show an extensive number of introduced species (either exotic or allochthonous), such as in the Alto Paraná and Paraíba do Sul River basins which contain 74 (23.9%) and 64 (49%) introduced species respectively [6,16,17].…”

“…The combination of each aspects of these environmental characteristics produces a mosaic of microhabitats that changes along the gradient according to the physical conditions, which requires adjustments in the biological communities living there (Vannote et al, 1980). In São Paulo state, the Alto Paraná system includes the major rivers and contains 38 families and 310 species of fish described (Langeani et al, 2007). In association with these major rivers, there is a large number of headwater streams inhabited mainly by species of small fishes with restricted geographic distributions, such as Bryconamericus turiuba, Astyanax bockmanni and Corumbataia cuestae.…”
