“…While there has been, to date. no evidence of excessive harvesting in the offshore reefs, which are designated as "notake" zones, the coastal reefs appear to have been overfished (Ferreira and Gon~alves, 1999).…”

“…For example, herbivorous parrotfishes have been the target of spearfishing during the last two decades at many locations in Brazil (Ferreira and Gonçalves, 1999). An extreme case is the large rainbow parrotfish, Scarus guacamaia, that has probably been fished to ecological extinction in Brazil , as it has in many areas of the Caribbean (Mumby et al, 2004).…”

“…Are the endemic species threatened or impacted, and if so, what are the implications for managing this unique biogeographic region? Limited research suggests that both commercial and aquarium fisheries are taking large numbers of fish from Brazilian reefs, leading to significant changes in community structure (Costa et al, 2003;Gasparini et al, 2005), and both artisanal and commercial fisheries appear to be affecting the population size and size structure of fish populations (Ferreira and Gonçalves, 1999;Frédou, 2004;Gasparini et al, 2005). Other threats deriving from urban development and agricultural runoff along the Brazilian coast were reviewed by Leão & Dominguez (2000), although little is known about the effect of these threats to reef fishes.…”

“…Sparisoma é o gênero com maior quantidade de espécies nessa região (Bernardi et al, 2000;Streelman et al, 2002). 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.…”
