Reproductive biology of Bryconamericus iheringii (Ostariophysi: Characidae) from rio Vacacaí, RS, Brazil

Abstract: In this paper we describe some aspects of the reproduction and development of secondary sexual characters of Bryconamericus iheringii, based on the analysis of 194 females and 210 males collected monthly in the rio Vacacaí (30 o 21'34"S and 54 o 18'48"W), from April 2001 to March 2002. The reproductive period occurred from September to January (spring and summer in the Southern Hemisphere), as described for other characids of the same area. The absolute fecundity mean was 933.71 ± 303.10 oocytes, and the relat… Show more

“…However, in subtropical regions, the breeding season of fish seems to be more influenced by temperature and photoperiod than by rainfall, because there are not well defined periods of drought and flood in subtropical regions, compared to tropical ones (Vazzoler & Menezes, 1992). Thus, the breeding season of Loricariichthys melanocheilus in the rio Ibicuí is strongly influenced by increased temperature and photoperiod, but it was not associated with the increase in river level, a feature also found for several species studied in Rio Grande do Sul, such as Serrapinus calliurus (Boulenger, 1900) (Gelain et al, 1999), Cheirodon ibicuhiensis Eigenmann, 1915 (Oliveira et al, 2002), L. platymetopon (Querol et al, 2002), Bryconamericus iheringii (Boulenger, 1887) and B. stramineus Eigenmann, 1908(Lampert et al, 2004. Something that is worth of notice is the large amount of specimens collected in the lake of point 1, located in the upper stretch of the rio Ibicuí in the breeding season, and a low number of specimens collected at point 3 in the lower stretch of the river.…”

“…A reprodução sazonal, com períodos definidos de maturação e desova, é uma característica observada para a grande maioria dos Characiformes (VAZZOLER & MENEZES, 1992). Em Characidae, os estudos mostram que as espécies apresentam, predominantemente, o período reprodutivo situado entre setembro e abril, com duração variando de quatro a seis meses (VAZZOLER & MENEZES, 1992;GELAIN et al, 1999;AZEVEDO et al, 2000;OLIVEIRA et al, 2002;LAMPERT et al, 2004LAMPERT et al, , 2007GONÇALVES et al, 2005).…”

“…De fato, estudos com espécies da família Characidae no Rio Grande do Sul vêm encontrando correlação do período reprodutivo apenas com a temperatura e com o fotoperíodo (e. g. GELAIN et al, 1999;AZEVEDO et al, 2000;OLIVEIRA et al, 2002;GONÇALVES et al, 2005), provavelmente porque, nessa região, não há períodos de cheia e seca bem definidos que influenciam na época reprodutiva, como ocorre em regiões tropicais. Entretanto, outros estudos desenvolvidos nessa região não encontraram correlação entre o período reprodutivo e os fatores abióticos (LAMPERT et al, 2004(LAMPERT et al, , 2007AZEVEDO et al, 2010). Tais estudos não descartam a influencia de fatores abióticos na reprodução das espécies e sugerem que, apesar da ausência de correlações, elevações da temperatura e do fotoperíodo possam desencadear o início da maturação gonadal.…”
