Evaluation of population dynamics of Macrobrachium olfersii (Palaemonidae) along ~150 km extension of the Lower Ribeira de Iguape River, São Paulo, Brazil
Abstract:This study aimed to verify the spatial and temporal population parameters of Macrobrachium olfersii over of ~150 km of the Ribeira de Iguape River (SP). Prawns were collected monthly (January to December 2007) in Eldorado, Sete Barras, Registro, and Iguape, using traps and sieves. We analyzed 9,691 individuals with carapace length (CL) from 2.2 to 25.4mm. In our results, smaller individuals were found close to the estuary, i.e., Iguape, whereas larger individuals were recorded as they moved away from the estua… Show more
