This study aims to describe the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of Gobiidae larvae at a tropical estuarine system in south-east Brazil (Macaé). The samples were collected in six stations, through oblique hauls using a bongo net (330 mm mesh size), coupled to a flowmeter, during the night in the ebb and flood tides in March, July and October 2006 and in February 2007. In the Macaé River estuary was collected a total of 1,234 Gobiidae larvae, representing nine taxa. The highest densities occurred in the river mouth during the flood tide in the rainy season. The most abundant groups were: Gobiosoma parri, Gobionellus oceanicus and Ctenogobius boleosoma. Gobiosoma parri was also dominant at the Macaé estuary, which also presented higher densities in the coastal stations during the rainy season (March), both the flood as the ebb tide. Gobionellus oceanicus and Ctenogobius boleosoma were characteristic of the dry season in the mouth and river stations during the flood tide. The abiotic factors chlorophyll-a and temperature were considered biologically significant for Gobiidae larvae distribution. The spatial and seasonal variations together with the tide influence the distribution of the fish larvae Gobiidae family in the Macaé River estuary and its coastal zone.

“…Este gênero é ecologicamente diverso, apresentando uma extensa gama de formas alimentares e padrões de uso de hábitat (Bernardi et al, 2000;Streelman et al, 2002;Ferreira et al, 1999). Larvas de Scaridae não foram registradas em áreas estuarinas do nordeste brasileiro (Mafalda & Silva 1996;Ekau et al, 2001;Marcolin et al, 2010), indicando que ela crescem em zonas oceânicas e de plataforma.…”

Souza, C.S.; Barreiro, A. S. & Mafalda Jr., P. 2010. Spatial and temporal patterns of Scaridae larvae (Pisces: Perciformes) in the northeast of Brazil in relation to oceanographic conditions. Braz. J. Aquat. Sci. Technol. 14(2): 1-11. ISSN 1808-7035. This work had as objective to study the distribution and abundance of the Scaridae larvae and to analyze the influence of oceanographic conditions (temperature and salinity), on the space and temporal distribution of larvae. Ichthyoplankton was collected during expeditions: Period 1 (August -October 1995), Period 2 (January -April 1997), Period 3 ( April -July 1998) and Period 4 ( September -December 2000), realized in the Northeast Exclusive Economic Zone. One specie (Cryptotomus roseus) and one genus (Sparisoma sp.) were identified. Sparisoma sp. was the most abundant genus (94% of the total), with higher abundance during all Periods. Cryptotomus roseus was the less abundant specie, representing 6% of the total identified larvae. Cryptotomus roseus presented larger distribution with the maximum density during period 3, between Maceió and Aracajú. Sparisoma sp. larvae were found mainly in oceanic stations and near São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago.

This work describes the first occurrence and abundance of larvae of M. longipinnis (Weymouth, 1910) in the Babitonga Bay estuary, southern Brazil. During an annual cycle (2007-2008), 144 plankton samples with cylindrical-conical net with 50cm in diameter (500μm mesh) and 72 samples with conical plankton net with 40cm in diameter (200μm mesh) were collected at nine stations. In addition, samplings were done with bottom trawl net (12mm mesh) at each station, aiming to collect juveniles and/or adults of M. longipinnis. Larvae occurred from February to May over a broad range area in Babitonga Bay. A total of 7 larvae was collected, with average abundance of 5.4 larvae.100m-³. In sampling with bottom trawl, juveniles and adults were not recorded. Although recorded only in the ichthyoplankton, the results indicate, for the first time, the occurrence of M. longipinnis on the subtropical coast of Brazil, thus enabling a discussion on the ecology and sampling of these fishes with cryptic habits.
