“…The predominance of Siluriformes and Characiformes as main components of the ichthyofauna of the Atlantic Rain Forest streams was expected because they are the dominant orders in Neotropical freshwater systems (Lowe-McConnell 1999;Abilhoa et al 2011) and were also observed in Atlantic Rain Forest streams (Casatti et al 2001;Sarmento-Soares et al 2007;Ferreira and Petrere 2009).

Abstract:This study provides a list of freshwater fishes of the Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos (PARNASO; Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil) and its surrounding areas. Fish samplings were performed by electrofishing during the dry season (2010 -2011) in three different areas: 1, inside of the PARNASO (2 sites); 2, in the buffer zone (4 sites); and 3, in adjacent areas (8 sites). A total of 47 fish species in 13 families and six orders were recorded. Fish composition within the limits of the PARNASO differed from that recorded in the adjacent area, with the latter having comparatively higher species richness. The buffer area had intermediate ichthyofauna composition between the two other areas. This study enhanced knowledge on the composition and structure of the fish assemblages in PARNASO, by recording the occurrence of six new species within the park that were not included in the Management Plan of this Conservation Unit.

“…Altitude has been reported as an important environmental variable determining fish assemblage structure in streams (Ferreira and Petrere 2009). However, fish responses to altitudinal gradient can be confounding with anthropogenic impacts that are more common in low altitudes.…”

“…Species addition seems to prevail in less abrupt transitions of streams gradient (Ferreira and Petrere Jr. 2009), but segments more distant from the headwaters often present a more complex habitat, suggesting a higher number of species able variably to interact with the environment (Silva et al 2013). The opposite situation observed in Tenente and Centenário streams may be strongly associated with local environmental characteristics (Mazzoni et al 2006;Teresa and Romero 2010) and can be attributed to the degree of environmental degradation along the whole reach but concentrated in the upper portion.…”

Several studies of small watersheds of in the Upper Paraná River basin are currently available. However, the number and extent of its tributary streams still pose a challenge to enhancing current knowledge of their ichthyofauna. This study aimed to survey the fish fauna of three streams of the Lower Paranapanema River basin, state of Paraná, Brazil (Capim, Tenente and Centenário streams). The sampling included 3,167 specimens belonging to five orders, 17 families and 56 species. The streams presented differences in species richness (Centenário Stream: 41 species; Tenente Stream: 33 species; Capim Stream: 30 species). Two species occurred at all collection sites (Astyanax bockmanni and Hypostomus ancistroides). Nine non-native species were recorded, four of them found exclusively in the Centenário Stream.

“…The family Characidae was predominant ( Figure 5), mainly due to the abundance of Astyanax ribeirae, Mimagoniates microlepis, and Hollandichthys multifasciatus. The freshwater fish fauna in the sampled streams in JIES is similar to other Brazilian coastal basins, with the predominance of Characiformes and/or Siluriformes (Sabino and Castro 1990;Mazzoni and Lobón-Cerviá 2000;Esteves and Lobón-Cerviá 2001;Uieda and Uieda 2001;Gerhard et al 2004;Serra et al 2007;Ferreira and Petrere Jr. 2009;Guimarães et al 2010;Mattox and Iglesias 2010), and confirms with what is expected in freshwater environments included in the studied region (Lévêque et al 2008). The representation of the Characidae species was also expected, since this family is one of the most species-rich in the Neotropical region (Reis et al 2003).…”

The Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station (JIES) is one of the few protected areas in the state of São Paulo, which harbor a significant portion of the Atlantic forest. Although there is high diversity and endemism of fish species in this region, knowledge of the ichthyofauna in JIES is incipient. A total of 4,809 specimens belonging to six orders, 15 families and 31 species were captured during April 2009 to February 2010, using electrofishing, gillnets and traps. The family Characidae was predominant, mainly due to the abundance of freshwater species such as Astyanax ribeirae, Mimagoniates microlepis, and Hollandichthys multifasciatus. Although the estuarine regions were rarely sampled in this study, six brackish water species were captured. In this study, nine species previously unknown from JIES were discovered. Five endangered fish species, endemic to the Atlantic forest, occur at JIES, thus the presence of protected areas, as a conservation measure, is particularly relevant.
