E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This study investigated for the first time impact caused by the invasion of Oreochromis niloticus on populations of native Cichlidae species from Igarapé Fortaleza hydrographic basin, a tributary of the Amazonas River in Amapá State, Northern Brazil. As a consequence of escapes and/or intentional releases of O. niloticus from fish farms, there have been the invasion and successful establishment of this exotic fish species in this natural ecosystem, especially in areas of refuge, feeding and reproduction of the native cichlids species. The factors that contributed for this invasion and establishment are discussed here.

Geophagus gottwaldi sp. n. is described from the drainage of the upper río Orinoco in the Estado Amazonas in southwestern Venezuela. It can be distinguished from all other described Geophagus species by the following combination of characters: a prominent dark infraorbital stripe, caudal fi n with a pattern of roundish light spots, a rectangular midlateral spot, 34–36 scales in a lateral line and total length of more than 20 cm. Resumo. Geophagus gottwaldi, espécie nova, é descrita da drenagem do alto rio Orinoco (Estado Amazonas, Venezuela). Geophagus gottwaldi é distinta das demais espécies descritas do gênero Geophagus pela combinação das seguintes caracteristicas: faixa intraorbital completa, nadadeira caudal com manchas claras arredondadas, uma grande mancha rectangular preta no meio de corpo, 34–36 escamas no linha lateral e tamanho grande (TL > 20 cm). Resumen. Se describe una nueva especie de cíclido, Geophagus gottwaldi, de la cuenca del alto río Orinoco (Estado Amazonas de Venezuela). La nueva especie se distingue de todas las demás especies del género Geophagus por la siguiente combinación de carácteres diagnósticos: una banda oscura conspicua intraorbital que extiende desde el ojo hasta el ángulo del preopérculo, aleta caudal con manchas blancas redondas, una grande mancha rectangular en el centro del cuerpo, 34–36 escamas en la serie longitudinal y tamaño grande (TL >20 cm).

Num espírito mais elevado, acredito que a maior parte da diversidade biológica de nosso planeta pode ser mantida e que a conservação em geral tem que ser considerada a arte do possível. Russell A. Mittermeier Falar sobre peixes é falar sobre a maior biodiversidade vivente entre os vertebrados do planeta! Das cerca de 60.000 espécies já descritas de vertebrados, 32.000 (53%) são peixes, e esse número só faz crescer ano a ano, sendo que o Brasil é um dos países que lideram novas descobertas (Nelson et al. 2016). Isso per se explicaria o porquê de dedicar uma seção especial da Revista Biodiversidade Brasileira a esse grupo. Para além de números que impressionam, a região Neotropical, que compreende os ambientes continentais do extremo sul da América do Norte (sul do México), toda a América Central e do Sul, é seguramente a mais diversa, com mais de 7.000 espécies de peixes reconhecidas (Albert & Reis 2011).

Paiz1, Lucas Baumgärtner2, Weferson J. da Graça1,3, Vladimir P. Margarido1,2 and Carla S. Pavanelli1,3 We provide cytogenetic data for the threatened species Gymnogeophagus setequedas, and the first record of that species collected in the Iguaçu River, within the Iguaçu National Park’s area of environmental preservation, which is an unexpected occurrence for that species. We verified a diploid number of 2n = 48 chromosomes (4sm + 24st + 20a) and the presence of heterochromatin in centromeric and pericentromeric regions, which are conserved characters in the Geophagini. The multiple nucleolar organizer regions observed in G. setequedas are considered to be apomorphic characters in the Geophagini, whereas the simple 5S rDNA cistrons located interstitially on the long arm of subtelocentric chromosomes represent a plesiomorphic character. Because G. setequedas is a threatened species that occurs in lotic waters, we recommend the maintenance of undammed environments within its known area of distribution. Keywords: Chromosomes, Conservation, Iguaçu River, Karyotype, Paraná River. Fornecemos dados citogenéticos para a espécie ameaçada Gymnogeophagus setequedas, e o primeiro registro da espécie coletado no rio Iguaçu, na área de preservação ambiental do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, a qual é uma área de ocorrência inesperada para esta espécie.

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria 51(1): 67–75. https://doi.org/10.3897/ aiep.51.63218 Abstract Iranian cichlids are isolated disjunct populations of the African cichlids group, restricted to the Hormuz Strait region in the Hormuz basin, and are a very important group from both zoogeographic and phylogenetic points of view. Thus, the osteological structures, as one of the most reliable structures, of the three nominal species of Iranian cichlid fishes,Iranocichla hormuzensis Coad, 1982, from the Mehran River, Iranocichla persa Esmaeili, Sayyadzadeh et Seehausen, 2016, from Khorgo hot spring, and Iranocichla sp., from the Kol River were described and compared. Ten specimens of each species were cleared and stained with Alcian blue and Alizarin red. A digital camera was used for taking pictures and CorelDraw X6 software for preparing drawings. The three species have some differences in the caudal fin skeleton, shape of the urostyle, neural spine of preural 2, hypural spines 2, and 3, anterior part of parhypu- ral and hypurapophysis, the size of neural spines of preural 2 and 3, hypural 3 and 4, and epurals.
