“…Like other species, females tend to be more abundant that males in Clupeiformes (Tsikliras and Koutrakis, 2013). Studies in other environments have also shown a strong female bias in various Clupeiformes species (Fialho et al, 2000;Corrêa et al, 2005;Deshmukh et al, 2010). This bias could be explained by ecological factors (Gamble and Zarkower, 2012), environmental conditions, reproductive behavior, or food availability (Vandeputte et al, 2012).…”

We evaluated the reproductive dynamics of two fish species, Lycengraulis grossidens and Platanichthys platana, in a subtropical freshwater coastal lagoon (Peri Lagoon) in Brazil. Samples were collected from nine sites every two months from June 2008 to April 2012. Different fishing methods were used to capture larvae, juveniles, and adults. Limnological variables were obtained using multiparameter probe. More females than males were collected of both fish species and the chi-square test (χ 2 ) was used to confirm that the sex ratio was female-biased. Large numbers of maturing and mature fishes were observed in almost every sampling month. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) of L. grossidens was the highest in August, October, and December for females and in October for males, and no significant difference was found across years. The GSI of P. platana showed no significant difference across months for either sex; however, significant differences were recorded in year three (June 2010-April 2011) and year four (June 2011-April 2012) for females and in year three (June 2010-April 2011) for males. For both species, GSI was negatively correlated with temperature and water level. L. grossidens larvae were more abundant in October 2010, showing a positive correlation with water transparency, whereas P. platana larvae were more abundant in June 2011, showing a positive correlation with water transparency and negative correlation with temperature and precipitation. Both species were represented by different stages, including larvae, which confirm that these species reproduce in Peri Lagoon. Reproduction was more pronounced in autumn and winter; however, reproductive activity was evident throughout the sampling period.In conclusion, our results show that abiotic factors strongly influence the temporal pattern of reproductive activity and larval assemblages of both L. grossidens and P. platana in Peri Lagoon, Brazil.

“…It is a characteristic species of coastal areas (CarvalhoFilho 1999), but there are only two previous records for the coast of Pernambuco (Lira & Teixeira 2008). Adults might reach the surf zone in search for food, as they eat some fish and crustaceans (Corrêa et al 2005), preys commonly found in this ecosystem. The time of higher incidence of C. bleekerianus coincided with the peak of juvenile Engraulidae and post-larvae of penaeid shrimp (personal observation) in this season (July-October).…”

Abstract:Resident fishes and their seasonal use of a surf zone were characterized and identified in the Jaguaribe beach, located on the Island of Itamaracá, state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. Monthly towings (March 2006 to February 2007 with a beach seine net (20 m long, 1.5 m high, 5 mm mesh size) in different moon phases and periods of the day (day and night) were conducted. A total of 6,407 specimens, 35 families and 90 species were recorded. Seven species were considered as annual residents (Anchoa tricolor, Anchoviella lepidentostole, Bairdiella ronchus, Larimus breviceps, Lycengraulis grossidens, Polydactylus virginicus and Pomadasys corvinaeformis), three resident throughout the dry season (Conodon nobilis, Lile piquitinga and Menticirrhus americanus) and two resident species in the rainy period (Cathorops spixii and Nicholsina usta). Among these 12 species, concerning their life cycle, three of them (A. tricolor, C. spixii and L. piquitinga ) showed only adult individuals, while B. ronchus, M. americanus and N. usta were the only species represented exclusively by juvenile in both seasons. The surf zone of Jaguaribe beach presents a considerable ecological importance as it encompasses a great diversity of fishes, including species considered rare for this ecosystem, as well as species which are resident annually or seasonally. The distribution pattern of species found in this study shows that the ichthyofauna of the surf zone in Jaguaribe beach is rich, mainly dominated by small-sized individuals including juveniles of several species, with the presence of some species most commonly found in neighboring environments, such as seagrass beds, estuaries and reefs. As an integrated component of interconnected environments in coastal areas of Pernambuco, and owing to its function in the life cycle of coastal fishes, the surf zone of Jaguartibe beach presents an apparently common ecological pattern for tropical sandy beaches. . americanus e N. usta foram as únicas representadas exclusivamente por jovens nas duas estações. A zona de arrebentação da Praia de Jaguaribe possui considerável importância ecológica, uma vez que engloba uma grande diversidade de peixes, incluindo espécies consideradas raras para este ecossistema, bem como espécies que são residentes anual ou sazonalmente. O padrão de distribuição das espécies registradas neste estudo demonstra que a ictiofauna da zona de arrebentação da praia de Jaguaribe é rica, dominada principalmente por indivíduos de pequeno tamanho, incluindo a fase juvenil de várias espécies, com a presença de algumas encontradas comumente em ambientes adjacentes, como banco de fanerógamas, estuários e recifes. Como um componente de ambientes interconectados em áreas costeiras de Pernambuco e por sua função no ciclo de vida de peixes costeiros, a zona de arrebentação da praia de Jaguaribe apresenta um padrão ecológico aparentemente comum em praias arenosas tropicais. Palavras-chave: ictiofauna, Itamaracá, praias arenosas, peixes juvenis.

“…The fact that first order carnivores had shown high density at night is mainly associated with L. breviceps and C. spixii, which were the most abundant species during this period. C. bleekerianus is a piscivore or third order carnivore as adult, feeding mainly on small fish (Sazima et al, 2004;Corrêa et al, 2005). Based on the length of first sexual maturity (76 mm) (Corrêa et al, 2005), 90% of C. bleekerianus sampled was composed of adults.…”
