Pisces, Aquidauana and Miranda drainages, upper Paraguay River basin, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Abstract: An inventory of the ichthyofauna of the Aquidauana and Miranda basins is presented. A total of 9,559 individuals of six orders, 21 families and 68 species were sampled in streams (n = 6), rivers (n = 2), and reservoirs (n = 5) during the dry and wet seasons. Streams and rivers were the sites with higher richness, with 97% of the total richness. On the other hand, the highest abundance was recorded for reservoirs, with homogeneous assemblages dominated by nektonic species. Structural heterogeneity and proximity… Show more

“…The diversity and composition of fish from streams is not fully known (Casatti 2001), however the predominance of Characiformes and Siluriformes in lotics reflects its greater representation in the neotropical ichthyofauna of freshwater systems (Lowe-McConnell 1999;Castro 1999 (Britski et al 2007;Teresa et al 2010;Pacheco et al 2012) and Uruguay Basin (Teixeira-de Mello et al 2011).…”

“…We emphasize that none of the sampled species are on the Brazilian Red List. The higher number of species registered in this study is probably due to the environmental heterogeneity (Teresa et al, 2010). However, the diversity may have been underestimated.…”

“…However, M. leniceae seems to be not common in the flooded area, occurring preferentially in small streams, as can be inferred from collection localities. Besides that, the species is possibly rare, as noticed by its absence in surveys of fish species for that region (Willink et al, 2000;Teresa et al, 2010;Severo-Neto, 2015).…”
