Inadequate Sampling Frequency and Imprecise Taxonomic Identification Mask Results in Studies of Migratory Freshwater Fish Ichthyoplankton

Paulo Santos Pompeu,
Lídia Wouters,
Heron Oliveira Hilário
et al.

Abstract: In South America, knowledge of major spawning sites is crucial for maintaining migratory fish populations. In this study, we aimed to understand the spatio-temporal distribution of fish eggs in the upper São Francisco River using high sampling frequency and DNA metabarcoding identification. We evaluated the possible effects of the non-molecular identification of eggs and decreased sampling frequency on the determination of spawning sites and major breeding periods. Collections were carried out every three days… Show more

“…Are some the results of narrow window spawning migrations? Research in Brazil is currently examining this hypothesis at a large spatial scale (via ichthyoplankton sampling) and collaborating on an important question about how fish assemblages at a multi-continental level can maximize the benefits of NEON data [32]. The application of more sophisticated beta diversity metrics to spatial diversity questions could also be a valuable next step.…”
