“…Mylossoma albiscopum from the Ucayali river basin, according to the seasonality of reproductive cycle, size and age at maturity and total spawning, can be considered as r‐strategic species, as defined by Winemiller (1992). The breeding period of M. albiscopum , which coincides with rising and high‐water periods, is a characteristic pattern of many migratory and commercially important Amazonian fishes (Bonilla‐Castillo et al, 2018; García‐Vásquez et al, 2015; Riofrío‐Quijandría et al, 2017). During this period, floodplains represents as biotopes that are used as refuge and breeding grounds for these species (Azevedo et al, 2021; Zacardi & Ponte, 2021), also generates favourable conditions for the development of plankton and periphyton that serve as food for the early life stages of these species, such as postlarvae and juveniles (Cajado et al, 2020; Campos‐Silva et al, 2021) that favour their development and recruitment (Castello et al, 2019), until they reach sizes that allow them to avoid predators.…”
