“…The data obtained in the present study, concerning larval occurrence, confirmed the previous studies (e.g. Bonecker et al 1992Bonecker et al , 1993Katsuragawa et al 1993Katsuragawa et al , 2006Nonaka et al 2000;Bonecker and Castro 2006;Namiki et al 2007aNamiki et al , 2007bCampos et al 2010;Castro et al 2010;Goçalo et al 2011). Nevertheless, sampling in all previous studies in the region was restricted to the depth of 200 m. The possibility of collecting ichthyoplankton below the traditional depth limit was very important in showing that larvae of many species can be abundant in deeper regions as well, notably larval Cyclothone spp.…”

“…One of the pioneers, Matsuura (1971;1972), studied the life cycle of Sardinella brasiliensis (Clupeidae). Since then, other studies in Brazilian waters have considered the taxonomy of some families and the ecology, distribution, ontogeny and other aspects of the early life of fish (Bonecker et al 1992;Katsuragawa et al 1993Katsuragawa et al , 2006Nonaka et al 2000;Bonecker and Castro 2006;Namiki et al 2007aNamiki et al , 2007bCampos et al 2010;Castro et al 2010).…”

Studies on the vertical distribution of larval fish in water masses along the Brazilian coast are very rare. The present study aimed to identify larval fish occurring in the surface (1 m) layer and at depth in four water masses of the Campos Basin, southeastern Brazil: South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) (250 m), Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) (800 m), Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) (1,200 m) and North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) (2,300 m). Material used in this study was obtained in 2009 through nocturnal horizontal stratified hauls using a Multinet (500 μm mesh size) during both rainy (February to April) and dry periods (August to September). A total of 10,978 fish larvae comprising 169 taxa were identified during the rainy (n = 6,015) and dry (n = 4,963) periods. The number of taxa decreased as the sampling depth increased. Larvae of Clupeidae, Engraulidae and Scombridae dominated in samples collected in the surface layer, while Sternoptychidae and Myctophidae were the most representative families in SACW. The other three water masses were dominated by Gonostomatidae larvae.

“…Therefore, the abundance of coastal species larvae is reduced, and a shelf assemblage with a different composition is formed. This assemblage was dominated by B. cantori, which is usually abundant during winter Namiki et al, 2007), and Engraulis anchoita, which shows high levels of larval abundance year-round Kitahara, 1995).…”
