RESUMO

This study investigated whether the fish communities inhabiting shallow non-vegetated habitats in two divergent bays in a subtropical World Heritage Site estuarine system differed according to wet (spring-summer) and dry (autumn-winter) seasons or polyhaline and mesohaline zones, within the broader objective of facilitating spatio-temporal management. Species richness (total of 74 taxa; total length, LT = 11-552 mm) and abundance (51 109 individuals) were mostly greater in the wet than dry season and in polyhaline than mesohaline areas. There was a major effect of rainfall on recruitment, particularly among transient fishes, which could be the result of enhanced survival of young via greater productivity (food resources) and protection from predators (via turbidity reducing visual cues). Salinity had strong interactive effects with rainfall and temperature in one bay, with greater species richness and overall abundances as well as large abundances of four key species [Anchoa januaria and Atherinella brasiliensis (pelagic residents), Cetengraulis edentulus (pelagic transient) and Diapterus rhombeus (demersal transient)] during the wet season in polyhaline areas; possibly reflecting a biodiversity hotspot that might be affected by distance to the estuary mouth and convergence hydrology. Regionally, the results support enforcing spatio-temporal restrictions to minimize anthropogenic activities within statutory (but not always enforced) protected areas. Globally, the data reiterate the need to identify and understand biotic and abiotic effects on estuarine ichthyofaunal distributions and abundances as a precursor to their management.

RESUMO

Tidal creeks are strongly influenced by tides and are therefore exposed to large differences in salinity and depth daily. Here we compare fish assemblages in tidal creeks between day and night in two tidal creeks in southern Brazil. Monthly day and night, simultaneous collections were carried out in both creeks using fyke nets. Clupeiformes tended to be caught more during the day. Cathorops spixii, Genidens genidens and Rypticus randalli tended to be caught at night. Sciaenidae also tended to be caught more during the night. In general, pelagic species were diurnal, while deep water species were nocturnal. These trends are probably due to a variety of causes, such as phylogeny, predation and net avoidance.

As gamboas são canais com traçado meandrante altamente influenciados pelas marés e sofrem grande variação de salinidade e profundidade em um mesmo dia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar as assembléias de peixes diurna e noturna, e para tanto foram escolhidas duas gamboas no sul do Brasil. Coletas mensais foram feitas simultaneamente na maré vazante da tarde e na maré enchente da noite, com o auxílio de redes fyke. Os clupeiformes exibiram tendência para captura diurna. As espécies: Cathorops spixii, Genidens genidens e Rypticus randalli exibiram forte tendência para captura noturna. A família Sciaenidae também mostrou tendência para captura noturna. De forma geral, espécies pelágicas foram mais capturadas durante o dia, e espécies mais relacionadas ao fundo foram mais capturadas à noite, e isto se deve à ação conjunta de vários fatores, tais como: padrões filogenéticos, fuga do instrumento de coleta e busca de locais mais protegidos contra predação.
