  • Goliath Catfish Spawning in the Far Western Amazon Confirmed by the Distribution of Mature Adults, Drifting Larvae and Migrating Juveniles
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Goliath catfish spawning in the far western Amazon confirmed by the distribution of mature adults, Received: 28 June 2016 Accepted: 28 December 2016 drifting larvae and migrating Published: 06 February 2017 juveniles Ronaldo B. Barthem1, Michael Goulding2, Rosseval G. Leite3, Carlos Cañas2, Bruce Forsberg3, Eduardo Venticinque4, Paulo Petry5, Mauro L. de B. Ribeiro6, Junior Chuctaya7 & Armando Mercado2 We mapped the inferred long-distance migrations of four species of Amazonian goliath catfishes (Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, B. platynemum, B. juruense and B. vaillantii) based on the presence of individuals with mature gonads and conducted statistical analysis of the expected long-distance downstream migrations of their larvae and juveniles. By linking the distribution of larval, juvenile and mature adult size classes across the Amazon, the results showed: (i) that the main spawning regions of these goliath catfish species are in the western Amazon; (ii) at least three species—B. rousseauxii, B. platynemum, and B. juruense—spawn partially or mainly as far upstream as the Andes; (iii) the main spawning area of B. rousseauxii is in or near the Andes; and (iv) the life history migration distances of B. rousseauxii are the longest strictly freshwater fish migrations in the world. These results provide an empirical baseline for tagging experiments, life histories extrapolated from otolith microchemistry interpretations and other methods to establish goliath catfish migratory routes, their seasonal timing and possible return (homing) to western headwater tributaries where they were born. The Amazon has two main groups of migratory fish species, and they belong to the orders Siluriformes (catfishes) and Characiformes (characins)1–3.

  • Karyotypic Characterization of Prochilodus Mariae, Semaprochilodus Kneri Ands. Laticeps (Teleostei: Prochilodontidae) from Caica
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 1(1):47-52, 2003 Copyright © 2003 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Karyotypic characterization of Prochilodus mariae, Semaprochilodus kneri and S. laticeps (Teleostei: Prochilodontidae) from Caicara del Orinoco, Venezuela Claudio Oliveira*, Mauro Nirchio**, Ángel Granado*** and Sara Levy** Fish of the family Prochilodontidae are considered one of the most important components of commercial and subsistence fishery in freshwater environments in South America. This family consists of 21 species and three genera. In the present study, the karyotypes of Prochilodus mariae, Semaprochilodus kneri, and S. laticeps from Caicara del Orinoco, Bolivar State, Venezuela were studied. The species P. mariae, S. kneri and S. laticeps exhibited 2n=54 chromosomes (40 metacentric and 14 submetacentric), a single chromosome pair with nucleolus organizer regions, and a large amount of heterochromatin found at centromeric and pericentromeric positions in almost all chromosomes. The P. mariae specimens studied displayed 0 to 3 supernumerary microchromosomes. The data obtained here confirm the conservative nature of the chromosome number and morphology of Prochilodontidae and reinforce the hypothesis that small structural chromosome rearrangements were the main cause of the karyotypic diversification seen in this group. Os peixes da família Prochilodontidae são considerados um dos componentes mais importantes da pesca comercial e de subsistência em ambientes de água doce na América do Sul. Essa família compreende 21 espécies e três gêneros. No presente estudo foram analisados os cariótipos de Prochilodus mariae, Semaprochilodus kneri e S. laticeps provenientes de Caicara del Orinoco, Estado Bolivar, Venezuela. As espécies P. mariae, S. kneri e S. laticeps apresentaram 2n=54 cromossomos (40 metacêntricos e 14 submetacêntricos), um único par de cromossomos com regiões organizadoras de nucléolo e uma grande quantidade de heterocromatina em posição centromérica e pericentromérica de quase todos os cromossomos.

  • APPENDIX 1 Classified List of Fishes Mentioned in the Text, with Scientific and Common Names
    APPENDIX 1 Classified list of fishes mentioned in the text, with scientific and common names. ___________________________________________________________ Scientific names and classification are from Nelson (1994). Families are listed in the same order as in Nelson (1994), with species names following in alphabetical order. The common names of British fishes mostly follow Wheeler (1978). Common names of foreign fishes are taken from Froese & Pauly (2002). Species in square brackets are referred to in the text but are not found in British waters. Fishes restricted to fresh water are shown in bold type. Fishes ranging from fresh water through brackish water to the sea are underlined; this category includes diadromous fishes that regularly migrate between marine and freshwater environments, spawning either in the sea (catadromous fishes) or in fresh water (anadromous fishes). Not indicated are marine or freshwater fishes that occasionally venture into brackish water.

  • Characterization of the Commercial Fish Production Landed at Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil
    CHARACTERIZATION OF THE COMMERCIAL FISH PRODUCTION LANDED AT MANAUS, AMAZONAS STATE, BRAZIL Vandick da Silva BATISTA1, Miguel PETRERE JÚNIOR2 ABSTRACT: The present work aims to update a series of information about the regional fishing production, by presenting and characterizing the contribution of the different sub-systems of the Amazon basin to the catch landed at the main fishing market of Manaus, Brazil, from 1994 to 1996. Collectors specifically hired for this function registered key information on the fisheries. Thirty nine types or groups of fish were found in the fishing production landed. Jaraqui (Semaprochilodus spp.), curimatã (Prochilodus nigricans), pacu (Myleinae), matrinchã (Brycon cephalus), sardine (Triportheus spp.), aracu (Anostomidae) and tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) were the most important items during three consecutive years. In 1994 these items summed up 91.6% of the total production; in 1995 and 1996 these values were, respectively, 85.3% and 86.4% of the total production. Tambaqui landed decreased remarkably during the period 1976-1996. There was a strong seasonal component in the production of the main species; jaraqui and matrinchã were mostly landed between April and June, while curimatã, pacu, and sardine were mostly landed during the dry season. Other important items showed a strong inter-annual variation in their production. The fishing production landed came mostly from the sub-system of the Purus River (around 30% of the total production). The sub¬ system of the Medium-Solimões contributed with an average of 15% and the sub-systems of the Madeira, Lower-Solimões, Upper-Amazon and Juruá, together contributed with 11.5% of the total production landed.

(Myxozoa, Myxosporea, Myxobolidae), a parasite of the Amazonian teleost fish Semaprochilodus insignis (Osteichthyes, Prochilodontidae) JC Eiras/+, JCO Malta*, AMB Varella*, GC Pavanelli** Departamento de Zoologia e Antropologia, and CIIMAR, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade do Porto, 4099-002 Porto, Portugal *Laboratório de Parasitologia e Patologia de Peixes, Inpa, Manaus, AM, Brasil **Departamento de Biologia, Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Maringá, PR, Brasil A new myxosporean species is described from the fish Semaprochilodus insignis captured from the Amazon River, near Manaus. Myxobolus insignis sp. n. was located in the gills of the host forming plasmodia inside the secondary gill lamellae. The spores had a thick wall (1.5-2 µm) all around their body, and the valves were symmetrical and smooth. The spores were a little longer than wide, with rounded extremities, in frontal view, and oval in lateral view. They were 14.5 (14-15) µm long by 11.3 (11-12) µm wide and 7.8 (7-8) µm thick. Some spores showed the presence of a triangular thickening of the internal face of the wall near the posterior end of the polar capsules. This thicken- ing could occur in one of the sides of the spore or in both sides. The polar capsules were large and equal in size surpassing the mid-length of the spore. They were oval with the posterior extremity rounded, and converging anteriorly with tapered ends. They were 7.6 (7-8) µm long by 4.2 (3-5) µm wide, and the polar filament formed 6 coils slightly obliquely to the axis of the polar capsule.

Although they have con- tributed to an increase in fish abundance and alleviated verfishing has adversely affected fish communities the impacts of fishing on marine ecosystems, the impacts Oworldwide, with large and valuable target species of fishing and of protected areas in freshwater ecosystems being replaced by smaller, lower-value fishes in the so-called are less well known. We compared fishing productivity fishing-down process (Welcomme, , ; Winemiller, and fish assemblage descriptors of two distinct protected ; Castello et al., ). In marine environments fishing areas designated for sustainable use of natural resources pressure has caused the mean trophic level to decline and an unprotected area in the Tapajós River, in the through the replacement of large predators by small plank- Brazilian Amazon.
