“…In Jurubatuba River, the study by Mattox and Iglesias (2010) of these were found in both surveys (Hollandichthys multifasciatus, Schizolecis guntheri, Acentronichthys leptos, Rhamdia quelen, Gymnotus pantherinus, Synbranchus marmoratus and Geophagus brasiliensis). The Cubatão River showed greater richness in the Family Loricariidae with three species.…”

is tropical rainy with an annual mean precipitation of 3.207 mm (EMBRAPA 2012). January to March (austral summer) is the highest rainfall period and July to August (winter) the least, not experiencing a real dry season. The average temperature is 24.8°C, the warmest month (February) 28.3°C and coldest month (July) 20.7°C (EMBRAPA, 2012). The Cubatão River is located in the "Baixada Santista" region, being approximately 35 km long. It occupies an area of 175.55 km 2 and has a stream flow long-term average of 8.09 m 3 /s (CETEC 2000); it is inserted in the Serra do Mar State Park (Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar-PESM), Itutinga-Pilões center. For this study we selected eight sampling sites, five in tributaries, three from the left bank (1, 2 and 3), two from the right bank (4 and 8) and three in the Cubatão River main stem (5, 6 and 7) (Figure 1). The geographical coordinates are shown in Table 1. The sites 1, 2 and 3 have waterfalls and present rocky bottom, with dense vegetation cover. The site 4 has sandy bottom, with a predominance of low vegetation on the shore and lentic waters. The site 5 and 6 had substrate composed primarily of gravel and boulders, moderately fast water and riparian low vegetation. Site 7, is formed by a rapid, with rocky bottom and dense vegetation around preserved. Finally, section 8 is located inside a pineapple plantation, with few marginal vegetation, moderately fast water and bottom composed of sand and gravel. Data collection Two samplings were done, one in the rainy season (January 2011) and another in the dry season (July 2011). Authorization for the collections were issued by the Instituto Florestal-Secretaria do Meio Ambiente do Estado de São Paulo (license #260108-010.534/260108-010.525/260108-010.517). Fishes were captured by electrofishing using a SAMUS 725M electric shock device

“…Thus it was impossible to determine the origin of their introduction. However, the headwaters of the Rio Tietê have a very peculiar ichthyofaunistic composition, distinct from that found in the rest of the upper Rio Paraná, accentuating the degree of endemism and great similarity with nearby coastal watersheds (Mattox & Iglesias, 2010;Serra et al, 2007), corroborating the hypothesis of capture phenomena in the headwaters of the region's rivers and Serra do Mar drainages (Ribeiro et al, 2006;Serra et al, 2007). By isolating and connecting fish within watersheds, river capture affects the diversity of freshwater organisms, promoting speciation through genetic isolation and vicariance (Albert et al, 2018;Burridge et al, 2006;Lyons et al, 2020).…”

The mitochondrial gene COI reveals the origin of the introduction of Platanichthys platana (Regan, 1917) (Clupeiformes, Clupeidae) in a neotropical floodplain

The first records of Platanichthys platana in the upper Rio Paraná floodplain (URPF) date to 2012, but variations in the body length of specimens collected from this basin have since generated uncertainty about their identity and origin of introduction. This study aimed to genetically characterize populations of P. platana in different river basins, assess haplotype diversity, and determine the origin of the introduced population in the URPF. Sequences from the COI region were used to calculate genetic distances, construct gene trees, and identify haplotype networks. Eight haplotypes were found, several of which were exclusive to the coastal basins of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, and the Río Negro basin (Río Yí). The Río de La Plata and Mar Chiquita basins, and upper Rio Paraná floodplain shared haplotypes. Based on the results of our analysis, we concluded that the URPF specimens were introduced from populations in Argentina.

Life-history characteristics of eleotrid fishes of the western hemisphere, and perils of life in a vanishing environment

The term amphidromous was coined (Myers in Copeia 1949:89-97, 1949b to describe diadromous life histories that include migrations, not associated with reproduction, that are between fresh and marine waters. This concept has facilitated evaluations of life cycles among a number of groups of fishes including some belonging to the family Eleotridae. Information was gathered on life history patterns of eleotrid fish species that have been recorded from both fresh and brackish or marine waters of the east and west coasts of North, Middle, and South America, including adjacent islands, seeking evidence of diadromy and especially of amphidromy. Convincing evidence was found of diadromy in the life cycles of four species from the east coast (with another two species possibly in this category), and of three species from the west coast of the Americas and adjacent islands. However, there was convincing evidence of amphidromy in only one species from the east coast and adjacent islands, with another three species or species populations possibly in this category, and in three species from the west coast and adjacent islands. It seems possible from the available information that there may be variation among populations in life cycles of some of these species. However, it remains for the use of modern techniques to allow more definitive determinations of life history patterns of these eleotrid species populations. Serious concern exists with respect to the conservation of all diadromous species because of the worldwide emphasis on river manipulations, especially of dam construction. Resident diadromous organisms are being impeded in their migrations, and thus imperiled in their potential for survival, depending on the nature of river alterations and the abilities of the organisms to cope with them.
