Abstract: This study aims to provide a list of fish species from the Igaraçu River and some lakes of the lower Parnaíba River, Delta do Parnaíba, northeastern state of Piauí, Brazil. Eleven collecting points were sampled in a coastal area, in a wind farm, during the dry season in November 2011. A total of 1,023 individuals of 24 species, 13 families and 6 orders were collected. The most representative families in number of species were Characidae, Cichlidae and Curimatidae, respectively. Astyanax aff. bimaculatus, Serra… Show more

“…Spatial patterns in the fish assemblage of the Parnaiba Delta varied considerably. The upper areas of the PRD were characterized predominantly by freshwater fish orders such as the Characiformes, Siluriformes and Cichliformes (see 6,11,13 ), while the lower PRD and shoreline were dominated by coastal (marine-estuarine) species, whose geographical distributions are not restricted to the Brazilian Province ( sensu 50 ), i.e ., between the mouth of the Amazon River and the state of Santa Catarina, but range throughout the western Atlantic Ocean. Interestingly, some species with coastal behavior that enter the PRD also inhabit adjacent ecosystems such as oceanic islands and Atlantic coral reefs [e.g.…”

“…The Parnaíba River Delta (PRD) in northeastern Brazil is considered the largest deltaic formation in the Americas and is the third largest in the world, after the Nile delta in Africa and the Mekong delta in Asia. The Parnaíba Delta encompasses 85 islands within an area of 2,700 km 2 , which includes a variety of ecosystems, such as mangroves, salt marshes, and sandy beaches, that support a rich, but still poorly-known biota 5,6 .…”
