Although it has been registered along all of this hydrological system’s extension, including the segment located upstream of the Três Marias dam, up to now the species had not yet been detected in the Pará River sub-basin. Between the 19th and 28th of October 2009, 27 specimens were collected in this drainage system; over half of them captured in a highly polluted artificial reservoir. The results of the present study reinforce that the implementation of reservoirs and the pollution of the continental waters favor not only the expansion, but also the establishment of non-native teleosts with opportunist habits.

ARMBRUSTER* Department of Biological Sciences, Auburn University 331 Funchess, Auburn University, Alabama 36849, USA Abstract.—Catfi shes are a broadly distributed order of freshwater fi shes with 3,407 cur- rently valid species. In this paper, I review the different clades of catfi shes, all catfi sh fami- lies, and provide information on some of the more interesting aspects of catfi sh biology that express the great diversity that is present in the order. I also discuss the results of the widely successful All Catfi sh Species Inventory Project. Introduction proximately 10.8% of all fi shes and 5.5% of all ver- tebrates are catfi shes. Renowned herpetologist and ecologist Archie Carr’s But would every one be able to identify the 1941 parody of dichotomous keys, A Subjective Key loricariid catfi sh Pseudancistrus pectegenitor as a to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida, begins catfi sh (Figure 2A)? It does not have scales, but it with “Any damn fool knows a catfi sh.” Carr is right does have bony plates. It is very fl at, and its mouth but only in part. Catfi shes (the Siluriformes) occur has long jaws but could not be called large.

  • (Hoplosternum Littorale) on Starvation
    UTILIZATION OF THE PRINCIPAL NUTRIENTS FOR ROUTINE METABOLISM IN ATIPA (HOPLOSTERNUM LITTORALE) ON STARVATION P. LUQUET,* Y. MOREAU,* F. MEDALE** and S.J.

France ABSTRACT Atipa (Hoplosternum litrorale),a nopical fish from South America, was starved for 50 days. Changes in whole body composition (dry maner. proteins. amino acids. minerals, fats, and energy) were studied in order to assess the utilization of such nutrients for routine metabolism. The intensity of catabolism decreased with the duration of the fast. During the fmt 10 days the daily losses amounted to 0.55 g. 0.29 g. and 0.14 g. respectively for fresh body weight, dry matter, and proteins per 100 g initial body weight. During the following 40 days, daily losses were on average half of the previous values. There was remarkable conservation of certain nutrients including mineral and lipid reserves and amino acids. There were two very distinct phases in energy utilization. Lipids played an important role in energy supply during the first phase but. in the long ten. routine energy requirements are met mainly by protein mobilization. Hoplosternum littorale (vemacular French name: Atipa) is an armoured catfrsh of the family Callichtyidae, of wide distribution in marshes and flood plains of the northem part of South America. Although information is available on the behaviour of this species, data on its biology are very scarce (Sing, 1977; Machado-Allison, 1987; Winemiller, 1987; Gautier et al., 1988).
