Abstract: An analysis was made of the spatial and temporal distribution of the abundance and composition of fish larvae assemblies, aiming to ascertain correlations with biotic and abiotic factors in marginal lagoons of the Cuiabá River floodplain in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands. Samples were collected bimonthly in the pelagic region of the marginal lagoons (fourteen lagoons) close to the littoral zone covered by aquatic macrophytes from December 2006 to April 2007. The captured individuals consisted of 2,739 larvae, repr… Show more

“…In the floodplain of the Paraná River, Nakatani et al (1997) found that the highest densities of eggs increased in the direction of the headwaters of the river's tributaries and that larval density followed an inverse trend. In the Pantanal floodplain there is evidences of the existence of a similar pattern, since large numbers of larvae of migratory species were found in stretches of the Cuiabá River downstream from the region of study of this work (Laboratório de Ecologia e Manejo de Recursos Pesqueiros-LEMARPE /UFMT unpublished data), in addition to larvae in more advanced stages of development in marginal lakes in the floodplain of the Cuiabá River (Tondato et al, 2010). These findings are indicative of a large number of EFHs in the Cuiabá River, including its headwater environments, which are important for the maintenance of fish stocks in the Pantanal.…”

“…Lagoons in the floodplains of large rivers are known for their importance as natural nurseries for juvenile fish (Welcomme, 1985;Bayley & Li, 1996). Tondato et al (2010) affirm that marginal lagoons are important reproduction sites for many sedentary species of the floodplain of the Cuiabá River. In the upper Paraná River floodplain, Nakatani et al (1997) showed that the lagoons are true nurseries offering shelter and food.…”

“…Studies performed in La Plata River basin have shown that the reproduction of migratory fish occurs from October to March , ZANIBONI-FILHO & SCHULZ 2003, BIALETZKI et al 2005, REYNALTE-TATAJE et al 2008, TONDATO et al 2010. In this study, larvae of the three species studied were captured in the same period, but the density of S.…”
