Knowing biodiversity: Fishes from the Guareí River basin, a tributary of the Jurumirim reservoir, Paranapanema River, Brazil

Abstract: The Guareí River is a tributary of the Paranapanema River (Brazil), located in the upper portion of the Jurumirim Reservoir. Fish fauna studies in this watershed began in the 2000s, but they were restricted to a few waterbodies. This work conducted a broad survey of the fish fauna in tributary streams and the main channel of the Guareí River. Sampling occurred between February 2017 and November 2018 at 36 sites and using different collection methods. We captured 2,169 specimens belonging to 50 species, 16 fami… Show more

“…A good habitat is fundamental to the maintenance and development of fish resources. In many basins where the main stream is strongly affected by hydropower development, tributaries with good natural connectivity can often serve as important habitats to maintain the diversity of fish in the main stream [ 42 ]. On the one hand, these tributaries can provide spawning and feeding grounds for the main stream fish and shelter for some rare fish [ 43 ].…”

“…This aspect may have precluded the observation of differences in structure among sites. For example, representatives of Characidae may be widely distributed along the river, but with different species occupying the gradient headwatermouth (Azevedo-Santos et al 2020).…”

“…Despite the current hydroelectric expansion in Brazil, which has boosted the construction of small-sized dams (cf., Ferreira et al 2016), the Guareí River still preserves its original lotic condition (i.e., no dams). Currently, the most notable human impacts in this river are the absence of riparian forests in some stretches (Azevedo-Santos et al 2020) and water pollution (e.g., solid wastes).…”

“…Specimens of this trichomycterid catfish were collected in a stretch above a waterfall, with rapid waters and rocky substrate. Collection methods (hand net), euthanasia, fixation and preservation of the specimens are fully described in Azevedo-Santos et al (2020).…”
