ABSTRACT

Sandstone reefs may be considered a unique geomorphologic feature within the subtropical Southwestern Atlantic Ocean region; however, biodiversity on these reefs has received little to no attention. Herein, we recorded the fish assemblage and benthic cover of sandstone reefs between 23 and 29 m depth in Southern Brazil and evidenced potential threats to habitat health. Video analysis and underwater censuses recorded 30 fish species. The unexpected high biomass of Epinephelus marginatus indicated that sandstone reefs may contain suitable habitats for the recovery of this endangered species. A rich benthic coverage including bryozoans, algae, hydrozoans, sponges, and octocorals increased local habitat structural complexity. However, a wide diversity of tangled fishing gear and broken sandstone slabs suggested that a valuable feature from Southern Brazil seascape is being lost by cumulative fishing impacts. An extensive mapping of sandstone reefs is urgently needed for better delineation of marine protected areas network in Southeast and Southern Brazil.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho é o primeiro registro da ocorrência de amiloodiniose emmarimbásDiplodusargenteuseda resistência de indivíduos jovens da espécie a uma ampla faixa de salinidade. Amiloodiniose foi diagnosticada em um experimento de crescimento,conduzido com540 jovens compesomédio de 0,1± 0,03 g e 19,0± 1,83mm de comprimento total,distribuídos em 18 aquários,na densidade de 0,33 indL-1e alimentados com ração comercialpeletizada durante 14 dias. Seis tratamentos (T1 a T6),em triplicata,corresponderamàssalinidadestestadas(10, 15, 20, 25, 30 e 34ups, respectivamente). Enquanto os parâmetros básicos de qualidade de água mantiveram-sedentro da normalidade para todos os tratamentos, as taxas de mortalidadeforam significativamente diferentes, variando de 0a 100%ao final do estudo.Osresultados indicam que os marimbás toleramdiferentes salinidades, mas são consideravelmente susceptíveis à amiloodiniose;Amyloodiniumcf.ocellatum tem sua manifestação inibidaem menores salinidades.(AU)


This work reports the first occurrence of amyloodiniosisin silver porgyDiplodus argenteusandresistance of juvenile silver porgy toa wide range of salinities. The parasitismwas diagnosed duringa growth experiment conducted with 540 juveniles silver porgywith average weight of 0.1 ±0.03 gand 19.0± 1.83mm in total length, distributed in 18 tanks, with a density of 0.33 indL-1and fed commercial diet for 14 days. Six treatments (T1 to T6),in triplicate, correspondedto the salinities tested (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 34psu, respectively). While the basic parameters of water quality remained within normal ranges for all treatments, mortalityrates were significantly different, ranging from 0 to 100% at the end of the study. The results indicate thatsilver porgytolerate different salinitiesbut they are highly susceptible to amyloodiniosis;Amyloodiniumcf. ocellatumhas its pathogenic action reduced in lower salinities.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The objective of this work was to present an updated checklist of the currently known fishes in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex (PEC) and provides comments on conservation status for the treated species. We used a large dataset derived from a pool of studies which have been conducted within there along the last 30 years. Each study was based on monthly samplings and conducted in several estuarine habitat; thus, the pool covers practically all estuarine habitats and takes into account the seasonal cycle in the system. The PEC ichthyofauna represents a mixture between that fauna typical from the tropical Brazilian coast and that with affinities of temperate Argentinean and Uruguayan zones. The PEC harbors a rich fish fauna of 213 species, inserted in the families that are common along the Brazilian coast. Only a minor part (8%) of the PEC fish fauna was evaluated as regards the conservation status, mostly because of the lack of basic biological and ecological information for most species. Despite part of the among-estuaries differences are due to different and incomplete sampling efforts, the richness in the PEC is surprisingly higher than other systems in Brazil and around world, which emphasize the importance of the region for global biodiversity conservation.


O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma lista de espécies atualizada a partir do conhecimento atual dos peixes no Complexo Estuarino de Paranaguá (CEP), com comentários sobre o status de conservação das espécies. Nós utilizamos um grande conjunto de dados derivados de diversos estudos conduzidos na região ao longo dos últimos 30 anos. Cada estudo foi baseado em amostragens mensais realizadas em diferentes habitats estuarinos. Dessa forma, os dados abrangem praticamente todos os habitats estuarinos e leva em conta o ciclo sazonal no sistema. A ictiofauna do CEP representa uma mistura entre a fauna típica da costa tropical brasileira e da fauna com afinidade com as zonas temperadas argentinas e uruguaias. O CEP abriga 213 espécies, inseridas em famílias que são comuns ao longo da costa brasileira. Apenas uma pequena parte (8%) das espécies foi avaliada quanto ao status de conservação, principalmente por causa da falta de informações biológicas e ecológicas básicas para a maioria das espécies. Apesar de parte das diferenças entre estuários ser devido a diferentes e incompletos esforços amostrais, a riqueza do CEP é surpreendentemente elevada em comparação com outros sistemas do Brasil e ao redor do mundo, o que enfatiza a importância da região para a conservação da biodiversidade global.
