Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Distribuição espaço-temporal da ictiofauna de poças de maré de um estuário amazônico: interação de fatores(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-02-28) OLIVEIRA, Rory Romero de Sena; GIARRIZZO, Tommaso; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5889416127858884The intertidal rockpool ichthyofauna has been studied for several years in temperate and tropical regions at the Pacific Coast, however, in Brazil, the knowledge about it is still incipient. The aim of the present study was to investigate the fish assemblages in tidepools located in three different habitats: rocky outcrop, mangrove forest and salt marsh, at Areuá Island, Curuçá river estuary, North Brazil. Samples were taken quarterly from February 2009 to November 2009, during the spring tide, following a standardized methodology. The physicochemical parameters changed along a topographic gradient and were responsible for the spatio-temporal distribution of fish fauna at rocky outcrop tidepools. Salinty, mean depth and substrate heterogeneity were the parameters that more explained the variations in fish fauna distribution A clear segregation of fish assemblages was found between the tidepools of rocky outcrop and vegetated habitats (tideools in mangrove forest and saltmarsh). These findings suggest that the fish fauna has preferences for some habitats influenced by environmental variables and substrate heterogeneity. However, more researches should be conducted taking into account inter-and intra-specific relationships.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Efeito de características ambientais no uso dos canais-de-maré por três espécies de peixes bentófagos durante o período transição-seca no estuário de Curuçá (Pará-Brasil)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-08-10) ALMEIDA, José Bruno Araújo de; GIARRIZZO, Tommaso; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5889416127858884; ISAAC, Victoria Judith; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3696530797888724The Curuçá estuary is part of a Conservation Unit (RESEX Great Mother of Curuçá) since 2002 and has as main water courses the Curuçá River and Muriá bore. This study aimed to analyze the effect of environmental characteristics in the use of the creek on the benthophagous species Colomesus psittacus, Sciades herzbergii and Genyatremus luteus. The analysis involved the relationship of environmental data (salinity, submergence area and tree cover) and biotic data from the three species studied (density, biomass, feeding intensity and distribution of total length). The first expedition took place in July 2008 to collect the fish fauna and the second in October 2008 to conduct the tree inventory, and each campaign lasted for three days. For all the estuary of Curuçá, more precisely, along the Curuçá River and Muriá bore were allotted a total of six study sites, where within each site were sampled two creeks, making a total of twelve creeks sampled. The species C. psittacus, S. herzbergii and G. luteus were among the five most abundant and occurred in all sites, except for S. herzbergii, which was captured only in five of the six sites. The three species showed, among sites, highly significant differences for changes in their average density, biomass, index of fullness and length, except for G. luteus which did not show statistical differences in their average total length. All variations of the average environmental characteristics related to tree cover (density, height and diameter), as well as, the area of flood creek showed significant differences between sites. This study has showed: the influence of salinity gradient in the distribution of species within the estuary; spatial relations between the flooded area and availability of food resources, where the creek with larger flooded area were more conducive to forage fish fauna benthophagous; likely, there is a better yield when feeding species benthophagous occurs in creek surrounded by vegetation developed.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) A ictiofauna no monitoramento da qualidade ambiental em um distrito industrial do estuário amazônico(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) VIANA, Andréa Pontes; ROCHA, Rossineide Martins da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4371300451793081; FRÉDOU, Flávia Lucena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4779271407117528The district of Vila do Conde, in the municipality of Barcarena, is a prominent industrial hub, constituting a risk factor for water quality. Given this, the present study focused on the environmental quality of the aquatic habitats adjacent to this site, using the fish community as a bioindicator and liver two species of fish as a biomarker histopathological. The collection of abiotic data (water samples) and fish specimens was organized in three distinct zones, representing different levels of impact. Zone 1 was located in the vicinity of the Vila do Conde cargo terminal, where the risk of contamination was highest. Zone 2 was in the Capim Island, located on the border between the municipalities of Bacarena and Abaetetuba, classified as a median risk area due to its relative proximity to the port. Zone 3 was in Onças Island, which was classified as minimum risk, due to its distance from the industrial district of Vila do Conde. Two different types of environment – the main river channel and marginal tidal creek were sampled in all three zones. Samples were collected every two months, covering the region’s principal climatic periods - rainy-dry transition (June 2009), dry season (September 2009), dry-rainy transition (January 2010), rainy season (April 2010), in one year collection. Data was collected using monofilament gillnets and block net. Aiming to evaluate the water quality considering different tools, this study was divided into three parts. In the the first part, the icthyofauna was used as an bioindicator of water quality (Chapter 1). In the second part, two species abundant with different feeding habits, Plagioscion squamosissimus and Lithodoras dorsalis, to assess the health of the environment through the use of liver as a biomarker histopathological (Chapter 2). Finally, all families of descriptors (chapters 1 and 2), were combined into biological integrity indexes in chapter 3. The analysis of the icthyofauna as an bioindicator showed differences in the composition between zones and environments (main channel and tidal creek), for the different groups of descriptors. Considering the 77 species captured, only 23 species were recorded in comparison with the less impacted areas. Also, large fish were least common in zone 1. In the present study, the smaller proportion of larger-sized fish recorded in the impacted areas may reflect an ecological response to anthropogenic disturbance. Biomarker analysis, carried out through the liver histopatologic study, was efficient to detect the influence of antropogenic factors in the heatlh of P. squamosissimus e L. dorsalis. The MAV (Mean Assessment Values), HAI (Histological Alteration Index) e o MDS (multidimensional scaling) analysis all indicated clear differences between the areas surveyed. The alterations were more severe (in some cases, irreversible) in zone 1, which was closest to the port and the industrial district. The principal alterations observed in the tissue of both species included an increase in the number of melanomacrophagous centers, fatty degeneration, inflammation, congestion, hepatitis, and focal necrosis. The hepatic alterations observed in the present study were generally more intense in the carnivorous P. squamosissimus, which feeds mainly on shrimp in the region of the study area. Though integrity indexes, all community information were combined into metrics. In the present study, considering the ABC curve, in the main channel and creek, the zones 1 and 2 were classified as moderately disturbed, which predicts an increase in the relative abundance of opportunistic species. The BHI (Estuarine biological health index), EFCI (Estuarine fish community índex), TFCI (Transitional fish classification índex) e EBI (Estuarine biotic integrity index) were considered to be excellent indicators of the ecological integrity of the different sectors of the study area, and were especially effective for the demonstration of the critical alterations of the fish community of zone 1. It was also possible to identify alterations to the environment of zone 2. The procedures adopted in the present study were nevertheless adequate for the detection of the alterations to the environment which have occurred in the vicinity of the town’s industrial district and cargo terminal and are able to be replicted in others estuarine areas. However, more reliable information on the bio-accumulation of heavy metals in these species will be necessary. This is especially important due to the prominence of both species in the diet of the local communities.
