  • Marine Bioinvasions in the Brazilian Coast: Brief Report on History of Events, Vectors, Ecology, Impacts and Management of Non-Indigenous Species
    Chapter 27 Marine Bioinvasions in the Brazilian Coast: Brief Report on History of Events, Vectors, Ecology, Impacts and Management of Non-indigenous Species Carlos Eduardo Leite Ferreira, Andrea de Oliveira Ribeiro Junqueira, Maria Célia Villac, and Rubens Mendes Lopes 27.1 Introduction The Brazilian coast extends for about 8000 km from Cape Orange (4°N) to Chui (34°S) (Fig. 27.1). This long coastline comprises a variety of ecosystems under the influence of oligotrophic waters transported by two western boundary currents, the Brazil and North Brazil currents (Stramma and England 1999), together with con- tinental influences related to a wide spectrum of river inputs, the largest of which being the massive Amazon River plume in the north and the combination of the La Plata and Patos Lagoon outflows in the south (Castro Filho and Miranda 1998). Seasonal or intermittent intrusions of cold and nutrient-rich oceanic waters carried underneath the Brazil and North Brazil currents (the so-called South Atlantic Central Water) is another important physical forcing on regional shelf ecosystems of Brazil, particularly on the Southern Brazilian Bight and more southern areas (Lopes et al. 2006). Regionally important coastal ecosystems are (1) sandy beaches, occurring from north to south, with the largest ones in southernmost areas of the state of Rio Grande do Sul; (2) mangrove forests, which occur from the northern tip of the country to the state of Santa Catarina in the south, (3) coral reefs, ranging from Maranhão to Bahia including the largest coral reef system of the South Atlantic, the Abrolhos Reefs (Leão et al.

Taxonomy and distribution of the Blenniidae (Teleostei, Blennioidei) from Brazilian eastern coast. A survey was conducted to identify and describe the blenniids present in the eastern coast of Brazil, between the delta of São Francisco River, Bahia State, and the São Tomé Cape, Rio de Janeiro state. In total, 10 species were registered: Hypleurochilus fissicornis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824); Hypsoblennius invemar Smith-Vaniz & Acero, 1980; Hypleurochilus pseudoaequipinnis Bath, 1994; Scartella cristata (Linnaeus, 1758); Lupinoblennius paivai (Pinto, 1958); Parablennius pilicornis (Cuvier, 1829); Parablennius marmoreus (Poey, 1875); Entomacrodus vomerinus (Valenciennes, 1836); Ophioblennius trinitatis Miranda-Ribeiro, 1919; and Omobranchus punctatus (Valenciennes, 1836). Meristic variations were observed in three species, reinforcing the necessity of the use of DNA techniques to separate the populations of Brazilian Eastern coast Blenniidae from others localities of Atlantic Ocean.
