Abstract: Aim This study verified if the macrophyte banks found in two reservoirs of small hydroelectric plants (SHPs) have a functional ecological role for the initial development of ichthyofauna. Additionally, we compared the differences in the structure of the fish assemblages along each reservoir compartment and between reservoirs. Methods Sampling was performed in March 2018, in lotic, intermediate, and lentic compartments of Palmeiras and Retiro reservoirs, Sapucaí-Mirim River (SP). Three distinct macrophyte bank… Show more

“…The different fish species occurring among macrophytes have different plant density preferences according to their adaptation and tolerance level (Lopes et al, 2015). For example, species with an elongated body shape can camouflage within stands of plants (Kimura et al, 2021), while other species tolerate low oxygen concentrations (Bulla et al, 2011), making these two fish groups more abundant in high and dense macrophyte stands. Thus, the correlations between macrophyte abundance and fish attributes may be species specific and idiosyncratic.…”
