“…For example, approximately six references (i.e., Rosa et al 1997, Barreiros et al 2004, Macieira & Joyeux 2009, Macieira et al 2014; excluding thesis, gray literature and works using visual census sampling methods) investigated the ecological aspects of Brazilian tidepool fishes. Although, fishes are an important component of many aquatic ecosystem (Holmlund & Hammer 1999) and one of the most exploited live marine resources (King 2007). The historical increase of the coastal human population, and its economic activities (e.g., ports, industry, fishery, exploitation of oil and gas), pose a threat the intertidal ecosystem.…”

Ichthyofauna from 29 tidepools in Jericoacoara National Park (Ceará State, Brazil) was sampled. A total of 733 fishes, comprising 16 species belonging to 12 families, was collected. The three most abundant species were the frillfin goby Bathygobius soporator, the sergeant-major Abudefduf saxatilis and the molly miller Scartella cristata. An invasive species from the Indo-Pacific, the Muzzled blenny Omobranchus punctatus, was also recorded. The known geographic distribution of the blenny Hypleurochilus fissicornis was extended approximately 2,500 km northward. These findings highlight the lack of knowledge of the rocky intertidal ecosystems along the Brazilian coast, an area that needs more sampling effort and ecological data. Keywords: rockpools, reef, intertidal zone, fish community, rocky shore.MACHADO, F.S., MACIEIRA, R.M., ZULUAGA GÓ MEZ, M.A., COSTA, A.F., MESQUITA, E.M.C., GIARRIZZO T. Inventário dos peixes de poças de mare do Parque Nacional de Jericoacoara, Atlântico sudoeste, com informações ecológicas adicionais.http://dx.doi. org/10.1590/1676-06032015011114Resumo: Um total de 733 espécimes de peixes, pertencentes a 16 espécies (12 famílias), foi capturado em 29 poças de maré no Parque Nacional de Jericoacoara (Ceará , Brasil). As espécies mais numericamente abundantes foram o amboré Bathygobius soporator, o sargentinho Abudefduf saxatilis e o macaco-verde Scartella cristata. Uma espécie invasora originá ria do Indo-Pacífico, Omobranchus punctatus, foi registrada para a á rea. A ocorrência de Hypleurochilus fissicornis permitiu expandir sua distribuição geográ fica em cerca de 2.500 km ao norte. Esses resultados demostram que diversos aspectos relacionados a ictiofauna do ecossistema entremarés em substrato consolidado ainda permanecem pouco estudados no Brasil, e portanto, mais levantamentos da biodiversidade e dados ecoló gicos são necessá rios.

“…These ecosystems are temporally and spatially complex combinations of biotic and abiotic elements that provide important ecosystem services (Daily et al 1997;Holmlund and Hammer 1999). Aging of reservoirs alters the functions of these systems through time and likely changes the services provided, especially cultural provisioning (e.g., fish as food, hydropower, etc.…”

Aging of reservoirs alters the functions, and associated services, of these systems through time. The goal of habitat rehabilitation is often to alter the trajectory of the aging process such that the duration of the desired state is prolonged. There are two important characteristics in alteration of the trajectory—the amplitude relative to current state and the subsequent rate of change, or aging—that ultimately determine the duration of extension for the desired state. Rehabilitation processes largely fall into three main categories: fish community manipulation, water quality manipulation, and physical habitat manipulation. We can slow aging of reservoirs through carefully implemented management actions, perhaps even turning back the hands of time, but we cannot stop aging. We call for new, innovative perspectives that incorporate an understanding of aging processes in all steps of rehabilitation of reservoirs, especially in planning and assessing.

“…Among all the organisms of freshwater fauna, fish is the most important, threatened and endemic taxonomic group in the Western Ghats and it contributes critical ecological role in the aquatic ecosystem [1].The endemic fish Puntius sahyadriens is belongs to family Cyprinidae. It is native of India, particularly in Maharashtra and Karnataka.…”
