“…A greater efficiency in the early morning low tide capture occurred, not only in this work, but also in the samplings performed by LASIAK (1984). In other areas, despite the absence ofcorrelation with the tide, again a greater number of individuals were present in the early morning catches (MODDE & Ross 1981;Ross et of. 1987).…”

Moon, tidal and diel influences on catch composition of fishes in the surf zone of Pontal do Sul beach, Paraná

ABSTRACT. Fishes were sampled by beach seine during the day and night at the high and low sygygy tides, on asandy beach at the southeast coast ofBrazil. The quantitative results appear to indicate a larger concentration of fish in the surf zone of this beach, in low tides at the start and end of the day. Only eight from the 17 most abundant taxa, appeared to have been influenced singly or in combination by the factors ofthe moon, day, night and tide.

“…Tidal creek assemblages change from day to night (Lin and Shao, 1999) and so differ from other environments, such as beaches (Ross et al, 1987;Lin and Shao, 1999;, where variation may be subtler. In general, daytime samples, which included engraulids, clupeids, atherinids and tetraodontids, were similar to net samples in tidal flats during the day (Pichler, 2005).…”

Diel variation in fish assemblages in tidal creeks in southern Brazil

et al. 2008

Tidal creeks are strongly influenced by tides and are therefore exposed to large differences in salinity and depth daily. Here we compare fish assemblages in tidal creeks between day and night in two tidal creeks in southern Brazil. Monthly day and night, simultaneous collections were carried out in both creeks using fyke nets. Clupeiformes tended to be caught more during the day. Cathorops spixii, Genidens genidens and Rypticus randalli tended to be caught at night. Sciaenidae also tended to be caught more during the night. In general, pelagic species were diurnal, while deep water species were nocturnal. These trends are probably due to a variety of causes, such as phylogeny, predation and net avoidance.Keywords: tidal creeks, fish, diel variation. Variação diuturna nas assembléias de peixes dos rios de maré do sul do Brasil ResumoAs gamboas são canais com traçado meandrante altamente influenciados pelas marés e sofrem grande variação de salinidade e profundidade em um mesmo dia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar as assembléias de peixes diurna e noturna, e para tanto foram escolhidas duas gamboas no sul do Brasil. Coletas mensais foram feitas simultaneamente na maré vazante da tarde e na maré enchente da noite, com o auxílio de redes fyke. Os clupeiformes exibiram tendência para captura diurna. As espécies: Cathorops spixii, Genidens genidens e Rypticus randalli exibiram forte tendência para captura noturna. A família Sciaenidae também mostrou tendência para captura noturna. De forma geral, espécies pelágicas foram mais capturadas durante o dia, e espécies mais relacionadas ao fundo foram mais capturadas à noite, e isto se deve à ação conjunta de vários fatores, tais como: padrões filogenéticos, fuga do instrumento de coleta e busca de locais mais protegidos contra predação.Palavras-chave: gamboas, peixes, variação diuturna.

“…Salinity and plant abundance were negatively correlated to axis II (Table 3). (Ross et al, 1987;Giannini, 1994 (Robertson and Lenanton, 1984) in Manguinhos. Both species of catfish would be related to increasing plant abundance in Gargaú, which has been used as shelter for young-of-the-year, seeking better chances of recruitment success.…”

Spatial and temporal variations of diurnal ichthyofauna and the environmental variables influences on its distribution were studied at the surf-zone of three beaches of São Francisco do Itabapoana, northern coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. From August/1999 to August/2000, three beach seine hauls were made monthly, and environmental variables were recorded. A total number of 4,562 fishes (74,155g) were sampled at the three beaches, where estuarine-dependent species prevailed (44%), followed by marine (31%), estuarine (19%) and freshwater species (3%). Species richness, number of individuals and wet weight were significantly higher at Gargaú, followed by Manguinhos and Barra do Itabapoana, respectively. Canonical Correspondence Analysis highlighted influences of the rivers flushing, salinity and plant abundance on the diurnal ichthyofauna distribution and dynamics of São Francisco do Itabapoana surf-zone.
