Among the objectives there are: 1)Surveying fish species and limnologic characterization of the Xingó Reservoir and of the downstream stretch, up to the Ocean. 2)Identifying and selecting sites for releasing the fish, identifying the necessary procedures for maintaining the economically feasible populations of fish with commercial value. 3)Proposing a sustainable fishing management model, with a monitoring plan. 4)Evaluating historic and current data on limnology, Ichthyofauna and fishing in the Lower São Francisco, proposing measures for reconstitution of the reophylic ichthyofauna. The Activity also treats the etnoscience, studying the different practices and the context in which the resources are used by local populations, contributing to the management and conservation of ecosystems (Diegues, 2001). In this sense, the ethnoecology1 has shown that the fishermen’s knowledge on fish and on the environment is necessary and should be taken into consideration in the fishing planning and management (Thé, 1999; Marques, 1995). This work was carried out by a team of consultants, under the Coordination of the Xingó Scientific and Technologic Development Institute, from June 2001 to December 2002. The Report is divided into eight chapters covering since the area’s characterization, limnology, ethno ecology, fishing production and promotion of the production in the Xingó Reservoir and downstream sector. The endangered species and adverse environmental impacts on the ichthyofauna are emphasized. Additionally, current and past fishing strategies in the Lower São Francisco are presented and reasons for changes are discussed. 1. CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SÃO FRANCISCO BASIN The São Francisco River’s regime is characterized by floods in the summer and no precipitation in the winter. Floods belong to two distinct types: The first one is related 1 Transdisciplinary field studying thoughts, feelings and behaviors intermediating the interactions between human populations and the other elements in the ecosystems, as well as the resulting environmental impacts. i to the great rainfalls at headwaters and the second is due to rains in the Lower Basin. Mean annual river discharge is 2,980 m3/s. The São Francisco Basin presents highly distinct natural sceneries, with great environmental diversity, including cerrado and caatinga biomes. There are regions with great water reserves and areas subject to frequent droughts. Chart 1 presents the Lower Basin’s main characteristics. Chart 1.

LIMNOLOGIC PARAMETERS Between Três Marias e Pirapora, water temperature in the river varies from 18 to 29°C (average around 24°C), electrical conductivity from 36 a 76 µS/cm (average between 47 and 52 µS/cm), pH from 6.3 to 8.2 and turbidity from 1 to 700 UNT, with the highest values in rainy season, except for the pH, which does not exceed 8.0 (Sato, 1999). In the stretch between the Municipalities of Belém do São Francisco (PE) and Paulo Afonso (BA), includind the Itaparica, Moxotó, PA-I, II, III and-IV Reservoirs, water temperature varied from 26,6 to 28.8°C, electrical conductivity from 58.6 to 74.9 µS/cm and dissolved oxygen from 5.46 to 10.69 mg/l (UFRPE; FADURPE; CHESF,1998). In the analysis in the Xingó Reservoir, water temperature varied from 23.7 to 31º C, electrical conductivity from 59.5 to 84 µS/cm, dissolved oxygen from 6.20 to 10.1 mg/l and total phosphor from 0.0002 to 0.0480 mg/l. In the downstream reach, close to the river’s mouth, water temperature varied from 24 to 30ºC, electrical conductivity from59.4 to 24.7 µS/cm, dissolved oxygen from 6.10 to 13.60 mg/l and total phosphor from 0.0002 to 0.0350 mg/l (UFAL; CHESF, 1999). 1.2. Ichthyofauna In the Middle São Francisco, the migratory fish start to breed in October, right after the driest month. With the arrival of the rains and beginning of the floods, those fish leave ii the marginal lagoons, migrating upstream. After the spawning, the breeding pairs return and the young fish enter the mentioned lagoons. The most important fish in the San Francisco River, regarding biological and fishing aspects, are the bozo, campineiro, croaker, curimatã-pacu, dorado, yellow mandi-açu, yellow mandi, matrinchão, pacamão, pacu, black-fish, piau, piracanjuba, pirambucu, black piranha, red piranha, sofia, sorubim and Tiger fish (Paiva & Campos, 1995). The known Basin’s ichthyofauna is composed of 133 species, including the 73 described for the Três Marias Region (MG), distributed into 65 characiforms, 56 siluriforms, 8 perciforms, two cyprinoids, one symbranchii and one clupeoid (Britski et al, 1984). Recentely, 14 other siluriforms and five characiforms were added (vide Chart 2). Chart 2.

  • REVIEW Electric Fish: New Insights Into Conserved Processes of Adult Tissue Regeneration
    2478 The Journal of Experimental Biology 216, 2478-2486 © 2013. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi:10.1242/jeb.082396 REVIEW Electric fish: new insights into conserved processes of adult tissue regeneration Graciela A. Unguez Department of Biology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003, USA [email protected] Summary Biology is replete with examples of regeneration, the process that allows animals to replace or repair cells, tissues and organs. As on land, vertebrates in aquatic environments experience the occurrence of injury with varying frequency and to different degrees. Studies demonstrate that ray-finned fishes possess a very high capacity to regenerate different tissues and organs when they are adults. Among fishes that exhibit robust regenerative capacities are the neotropical electric fishes of South America (Teleostei: Gymnotiformes). Specifically, adult gymnotiform electric fishes can regenerate injured brain and spinal cord tissues and restore amputated body parts repeatedly. We have begun to identify some aspects of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tail regeneration in the weakly electric fish Sternopygus macrurus (long-tailed knifefish) with a focus on regeneration of skeletal muscle and the muscle-derived electric organ. Application of in vivo microinjection techniques and generation of myogenic stem cell markers are beginning to overcome some of the challenges owing to the limitations of working with non-genetic animal models with extensive regenerative capacity. This review highlights some aspects of tail regeneration in S. macrurus and discusses the advantages of using gymnotiform electric fishes to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that produce new cells during regeneration in adult vertebrates.

The length-weight relationship was isometric for both the sexes. The length structure analysis showed that the larger individuals (from 18.1cm to 27.0cm in length) predominated, and the lowest abundances occurred at the size extremes (9.1-12cm and 27.1- 30.0cm). The reproduction period occured between October and January for the females and between November and January for the males. The liver somatic index cannot be used as an indicator of the reproduction period in either of the sexes, due to no correlation between the liver somatic index and the gonad somatic index. The gonad weight exerted no influence on the monthly mean condition factor and the correlation between the condition factor and gonad somatic index was high. The condition factor could be an indicator of the reproduction period of this species.

  • Estimating Migratory Fish Distribution from Altitude and Basin Area: a Case
    Freshwater Biology (2012) 57, 2297–2305 doi:10.1111/fwb.12003 Estimating migratory fish distribution from altitude and basin area: a case study in a large Neotropical river JOSE´ RICARDO S. BARRADAS*, LUCAS G. SILVA*, BRET C. HARVEY† AND NELSON F. FONTOURA* *Departamento de Biodiversidade e Ecologia, Pontifı´cia Universidade Cato´lica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil †USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Arcata, CA, U.S.A. SUMMARY 1. The objective of this study was to identify longitudinal distribution patterns of large migratory fish species in the Uruguay River basin, southern Brazil, and construct statistical distribution models for Salminus brasiliensis, Prochilodus lineatus, Leporinus obtusidens and Pseudoplatystoma corruscans. 2. The sampling programme resulted in 202 interviews with old residents and fishermen at 167 different sampling sites in the major rivers of the basin. Interviewees were asked whether these fish species were present in the nearby river segment, recently or in the past. The average age of respondents was 56 years, and the great majority had resided for more than 30 years in the area where they were interviewed. 3. Fish distribution patterns were modelled using altitude and basin area as environmental descriptors. Distributional patterns were estimated using logistic equations (LOGIT): À1 P ¼ eða0þa1 lnðAlÞþa2 lnðBAÞÞð1 þ eða0þa1 lnðAlÞþa2 lnðBAÞÞÞ , where Al is the altitude and BA is the basin area. 4. Accuracies of the distribution models were between 77 and 85%. These accuracies are similar to those of published distribution models for other fishes based on larger numbers of environmental descriptors. 5. The historical distributional ranges make clear that all operating or planned large hydropower dams in the Uruguay River basin, with one exception, limit or will limit the distribution of migratory fishes.

BMC Evolutionary Biology 2014, 14:152 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/14/152 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Systematic and historical biogeography of the Bryconidae (Ostariophysi: Characiformes) suggesting a new rearrangement of its genera and an old origin of Mesoamerican ichthyofauna Kelly T Abe, Tatiane C Mariguela, Gleisy S Avelino, Fausto Foresti and Claudio Oliveira* Abstract Background: Recent molecular hypotheses suggest that some traditional suprageneric taxa of Characiformes require revision, as they may not constitute monophyletic groups. This is the case for the Bryconidae. Various studies have proposed that this family (considered a subfamily by some authors) may be composed of different genera. However, until now, no phylogenetic study of all putative genera has been conducted. Results: In the present study, we analyzed 27 species (46 specimens) of all currently recognized genera of the Bryconidae (ingroup) and 208 species representing all other families and most genera of the Characiformes (outgroup). Five genes were sequenced: 16SrRNA, Cytochrome b, recombination activating gene 1 and 2 and myosin heavy chain 6 cardiac muscle. The final matrix contained 4699 bp and was analyzed by maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses. The results show that the Bryconidae, composed of Brycon, Chilobrycon, Henochilus and Salminus, is monophyletic and is the sister group of Gasteropelecidae + Triportheidae. However, the genus Brycon is polyphyletic. Fossil studies suggest that the family originated approximately 47 million years ago (Ma) and that one of the two main lineages persisted only in trans-Andean rivers, including Central American rivers, suggesting a much older origin of Mesoamerican ichthyofauna than previously accepted.

  • Diversidade, Padrões De Distribuição E Conservação Dos Peixes Da Caatinga
    3. Peixes da Caatinga 3 DIVERSIDADE, PADRÕES DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO E CONSERVAÇÃO DOS PEIXES DA CAATINGA Ricardo S. Rosa, Naércio A. Menezes, Heraldo A. Britski, Wilson J. E. M. Costa & Fernando Groth Introdução O conjunto de espécies de peixes de água doce que ocorre na Caatinga representa o resultado de processos históricos de especiação vicariante, possivelmente determinados por trans- gressões marinhas (Lundberg et al. 1998), expansões do clima semi-árido (Ab’Sáber 1977) e reordenações nas redes de drenagens (Ab’Sáber 1957), de processos ecológicos que determinaram a adaptação de espécies às condições climáticas e o regime hidrológico da região e, finalmente, de processos antrópicos, como as alterações ambientais e os programas de erradicação e introdução de espécies, que possivelmente levaram à exclusão de elementos autóctones da fauna original. Esta ictiofauna inclui representantes de diferentes grupos neotropicais típicos, mas que com exceção dos peixes anuais (Rivulidae), mostra-se bem menos diversificada quando comparada à de outros ecossistemas brasileiros. Suas espécies distribuem-se em bacias interiores e costeiras do nordeste brasileiro, que drenam parcialmente ou estão inteiramente localizadas na Caatinga. Por isso, não há como caracterizar uma ictiofauna típica ou exclusiva deste ecossistema, já que a distribuição de muitas espécies nos rios que cortam a Caatinga estende-se para além de 135 R.S. Rosa et al. seus limites, atingindo outros ecossistemas adjacentes do nordeste brasileiro e regiões vizinhas. O endemismo da fauna de peixes do nordeste brasileiro foi reconhecido por Vari (1988), que definiu uma região denominada “Northeastern”, e por Menezes (1996), que incluiu os rios do nordeste como parte de “Northeastern Small Drainages”.
