“…This result is a consequence of the low abundance and relatively high number of species in the upper estuary. An increase in the number of species in the outermost regions of the estuary, in addition to an increased presence of marine species, has been observed in Guanabara Bay (Rodrigues et al 2007), Sepetiba Bay (Araújo et al 1998), both in the State of Rio de Janeiro, and Guaratuba Bay, in the State of Paraná (Bouchereau & Chaves 2003) and appears to be a trend in tropical and subtropical estuaries (Blaber 2000;Blaber 2013;Catelani et al 2014). A two-way ANOVA based on fish metrics (CPUE, richness, diversity and equitability) was conducted by Silva Jr. et al (2016) based on the same two years of sampling but including all fishes caught.…”

“…Andreatta et al 2002identified 11 pleuronectiform species in Ribeira Bay (22º59'S / 44º22'W), while Mendonça & Araújo (2002) found 14 species in Sepetiba Bay (22º59'S / 44º22'W); in both studies, Paralichthyidae was the most speciose family, with eight and nine species, respectively. Further north, in the bay of Vitória (20º17'S / 40º16'W), seven Paralichthyidae species were recorded among a total of 14 flatfishes (Chagas et al 2006;Catelani et al 2014). Guanabara Bay is an open ecosystem that experiences the periodic influence of different water masses.…”

Use of a species-rich and highly eutrophic tropical estuary in the South Atlantic by Pleuronectiformes (Teleostei: Acanthopterygii)

et al. 2019

A total of 1,471 specimens of 16 species of flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) were caught during 48 sampling campaigns between July 2005 and June 2007 at ten stations in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Paralichthyidae was the dominant family, with Etropus crossotus as the dominant species. The outer stations, especially those on the western side of the lower estuary, were distinguished as a result of their higher abundance of flatfishes and number of species. The spatial distribution of E. crossotus and its population structure indicate that this species is an estuarine resident despite the apparent reduction in its area of occupation within the estuarine complex. Among the other species, nine were classified as marine stragglers (Achirus declivis, Bothus ocellatus, Cyclopsetta chittendeni, Etropus longimanus, Paralichthys orbignyanus, P. patagonicus, Syacium micrurum, Symphurus diomedeanus and Trinectes paulistanus) and three as estuarine opportunists (Bothus robinsi, Citharichthys macrops and Syacium papillosum); another three could not be classified due to the small number of captures or lack of previous data (S. tessellatus, A. lineatus and C. spilopterus).

“…Despite the undeniable importance of estuaries for fish species, there is a dearth of studies on their species composition in Brazil (Silveira et al, 2010), which can lead to underestimation of the biodiversity (Barletta et al, 2010) even in areas that can be easily reached, such as those in metropolitan regions (Vilar & Joyeux, 2018). In many cases, Brazilian estuaries underwent extensive modifications before they were studied (Barletta et al, 2010;Silveira et al, 2010;Catelani et al, 2014;Marceniuk et al, 2017;Vilar & Joyeux, 2018; Barletta & Lima, 2019), as did Brazilian coastal reef environments (Pinheiro et al, 2015).…”

Studies accounting the ichthyofauna composition of the Santos-São Vincente estuary-bay and Bertioga channel complex (SSEBBC) are scarce, even with its high ecological and economical importance. In this sense, the present study performed a checklist of the ichthyofauna from the SSEBBC aiming to report the distribution, diet, habitat, economic importance, and conservation status of the collected fish species. Twenty-four (24) monthly collecting campaigns were conducted between March 2013 and February 2015. In each survey, four locations around Bagres Island were sampled with the aid of gill nets with standardized effort. Dead fish specimens were also collected during the accidental fire that occurs on the Terminal Químico de Aratú S.A. (TEQUIMAR) between April 2nd and 10th of 2015. A total of 172 fish specimens were collected, where 50.6% were carnivorous; 35.5% were marine-estuarine; 44.2% with high occidental Atlantic Ocean distribution; 44.8% were a high important food resource. Regarding the conservation status, these fish species were classified as “low-worries” in 76.2% for the global evaluation; 95.3% in national evaluation; and 55.2% in São Paulo State evaluation. Moreover, 53 new fish species were catalogued for the Santos-São Vincente estuary-bay, where 12 were collected during the field monitoring and 41 during the fire monitoring. Fifty-eight (58) fish species collected during the field campaigns were categorized like “insufficient data”; 3 as alien species (Oreochromis niloticus, Opsanus beta e Butis koilomatodon); and there was a rare record of Megalops atlanticus in São Paulo State. Besides of the high anthropization, the studied area presented high fish species richness and should be monitored to ensure the fish species conservation status.

“…Among those drainages, the Macaé River is the longest one, with 130 km. The species richness on the estuarine stretch of the Macaé River surpass one hundred species, mostly comprised of eurihaline species (Catelani, Petry, Di Dario, dos Santos, & Mincarone, ). By presenting the LWRs of eight species from the estuary of the Macaé River, this study adds information to other recent efforts engaged to the ichthyofauna of the Fluminense Ecoregion (Franco, Araújo, & Araujo, ; Gasparini, Gomes, & Macieira, ).…”
