CASTRO, R. M. C., POLAZ, C. N. M., Small-sized fish: the largest and most threatened portion of the megadiverse neotropical freshwater fish fauna. Biota Neotropica. 20(1): e20180683. http://dx.doi. Abstract:We introduce the work providing a synthetic description of the diversity and phyletic structure of freshwater fish in the Neotropical Region, especially emphasizing that of Brazil. This is accompanied by a discussion about environments of fish from small to medium sized to large, taking into account how it shaped their respective biologies/ecologies, as well as what they imply for their use by humans. We present, as figures, the results of our exploratory analysis of Brazilian Red Book of Threatened Species of Fauna (2018), focusing on the small-sized ones, with up to 15 cm of standard length. We continue to present the main human impacts in small fish environments, along with those suffered by medium to large fish environments, and then follow by their respective deleterious effects. Finally, we present a general synthesis, reinforcing the enormous importance of small fish conservation and their respective preferred environments, followed by our main conclusions, and possible conservation strategies. Peixes de pequeno porte: a porção maior e mais ameaçada da fauna megadiversa de peixes de água doce neotropicaisResumo: Iniciamos o trabalho fornecendo uma descrição sintética da diversidade e estrutura filética dos peixes de água doce da Região Neotropical, com ênfase naquela do Brasil, acompanhada de uma exposição sobre onde vivem os peixes de pequeno porte e os de porte médio a grande, levando em conta como isso moldou suas respectivas biologias/ecologias, e o que as mesmas implicam para seu uso pelos seres humanos. São apresentados, sob a forma de figuras, os resultados de uma análise exploratória dos dados sobre as 311 espécies de peixes ósseos de água doce contidos no Livro Vermelho da Fauna Brasileira Ameaçada de Extinção (2018), com ênfase naquelas de pequeno porte, com até 15 cm de comprimento padrão. Continuamos apresentando os principais impactos antrópicos nos ambientes de peixes de pequeno porte, juntamente com aqueles sofridos pelos ambientes de peixes de portes médio a grande, seguidos dos seus respectivos efeitos deletérios. Finalmente, concluímos com uma síntese geral, reforçando a enorme importância da conservação dos peixes de pequeno porte e seus ambientes preferenciais, e estratégias possíveis para conservação dos mesmos. Palavras-chave: Peixes pequenos, ictiofauna brasileira, peixes ameaçados, estratégias de conservação, políticas de biodiversidade.

“…Langeani et al (2007) showed that Characidae and Loricariidae, in general, are the two most species-rich families of the upper Rio Paraná basin. In addition, several ichthyofaunal surveys (e.g., , Smith et al 2007, Oliveira et al 2009, Fagundes et al 2015, Hoffmann et al 2015, Cardoso et al 2016, Frota et al 2016 show this pattern in tributaries of the basin. However, in our work Cichlidae was the second most represented family (Fig.…”

Ichthyofauna of the Ribeirão Frutal and tributaries, upper Rio Paraná basin, Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil

2018

The Ribeirão Frutal basin is located within the upper Rio Paraná system, in the Frutal municipality, Minas Gerais State, Southeastern Brazil. Until now, there was no complete ichthyological survey published for this small basin. Therefore, here we provided a list of fish species from the Ribeirão Frutal and some of its tributaries. We found 31 species of fishes representing five orders and ten families. We identify a likely undescribed and five non-native species in the Frutal basin. Lastly, we recommend new surveys of fishes in small hydrographic basins within upper Rio Paraná system. Keywords: Ichthyology, inventory, Neotropical region, Rio Grande, survey. Ictiofauna do Ribeirão Frutal e afluentes, bacia do alto Rio Paraná, Minas Gerais, Sudeste do BrasilResumo: A bacia do Ribeirão Frutal está localizada no sistema do alto Rio Paraná, no município de Frutal, Estado de Minas Gerais, Sudeste do Brasil. Até o momento, não existe publicação de um levantamento ictiológico completo para essa bacia. Portanto, aqui fornecemos uma lista das species de peixes do Ribeirão Frutal e alguns de seus tributários. Nós encontramos 31 espécies de peixes representando cinco ordens e 10 famílias. Identificamos uma provável espécie não descrita e cinco não nativas na bacia do Frutal. Por fim, recomendamos novos levantamentos de peixes em pequenas bacias hidrograficas do sistema do alto Rio Paraná. Palavras-chave: Ictiologia, inventário, levantamento, região Neotropical, Rio Grande.

“…However, there are still many taxa to be better studied and that probably represent new species. It is known, for instance, that Astyanax scabripinnis represents a group of species, some of which still undescribed, and further detailed analysis based on larger and more complete sample series may result in the description new species (e.g., Moreira-Filho & Bertollo 1991, Bertaco & Malabarba 2001, Bertaco & Lucena 2006, Fagundes et al 2015.…”

“…Otothyropsis biamnicus was recently described (Calegari et al 2013) and included in a recent species list of the Upper Paraná (Fagundes et al 2015). The species mentioned above were described in the last 10 years, hence discovered in relative recent times.…”

Headwater stream fish fauna from the Upper Paranapanema River basin

et al. 2016

The Paraná River basin has about 600 fish species. In the Upper Paraná, 310 fish species were recorded, with 52 species were registered in the streams and headwaters of the Paranapanema River. The aim of this study was to characterize the stream fish communities in the Upper Paranapanema River basin. Samplings were conducted with electrofishing during the dry season in the year of 2014. The collection effort consisted of 30 streams stretches. As a result, 41 species of stream fish were recorded in the Upper Paranapanema River basin, distributed in 26 genera, 11 families and 7 orders. Thirty-nine percent of the species can be considered rare, 41% intermediate and 20% common. We captured approximately eight species by stream stretch and the estimated richness (Schao2) was 40 ± 6 species. Around 40% of the individuals had less than 50 mm in length.

“…Overall, members of the orders Siluriformes and Characiformes comprise the majority of species found in the three sampled streams of the Rio Sapucaí basin (see Figure 3). Dozens of investigators who have conducted fish surveys of rivers, reservoirs, or streams of the upper Paraná basin (e.g., Casatti et al 2003, Fagundes et al 2015, Frota et al 2016, Cavalli et al 2018 have also found species richness to be highest in these orders. Therefore, the relatively high species counts in these two orders, as we found in this study, is an expected result for many regions of the upper Rio Paraná system.…”

Ichthyofauna of streams of the Rio Sapucaí basin, upper Rio Paraná system, Minas Gerais, Brazil

et al. 2019

The Rio Sapucaí basin, in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, is one of the many watersheds of the upper Rio Paraná system. Ichthyofauna surveys in this basin, in general, are scarce. In addition, small rivers and streams of the region have been targets of anthropogenic actions (e.g., pollution) - which suggest that more ichthyological studies must be performed within the watershed. In this study we provide a survey of species that occur within three streams of the lower Rio Sapucaí basin. Samples were collected in April, July, and November 2017 and in May 2018. Collections resulted in 349 individuals belonging to 28 species, five orders, and 12 families. Among our findings are three putatively undescribed species and the first record of Oligosarcus argenteus and Pareiorhina hyptiorhachis within the Rio Paraná system.
