| This paper provides a case study of a threatened seahorse species, Hippocampus reidi, highlighting the importance of using ecological information to assist conservation and management initiatives. Underwater visual sighting data (50 x 2m transect) gathered along the NE, SE and S portions of the Brazilian coast revealed an unequal distribution across localities, perhaps related to harvesting pressure, and a mean density of 0.026 ind.m-2. Our findings suggest some restricted spatial use by H. reidi, which was consistent with its estimated home range, and with re-sighting of specimens. Reproduction was recorded year-round, however productive peaks may exist. Components of habitat structure mostly used as anchoring points were mangrove plants, macroalgae,... |

| ABSTRACT Two sympatric species of marine mullets, Mugil curema and M. liza, use the rio Tramandaí Estuary as nursing grounds. When two closely related species are sympatric, various mechanisms may permit their coexistence, including spatial or temporal segregation that results in the divergent use of the resources for which they compete. To investigate the spatial segregation, we used otolith chemistry inferred through laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Our results indicate that in the rio Tramandaí Estuary, M. curema is associated with high salinity waters and can be classified as a Marine Migrant in the Marine Estuarine-opportunist subcategory. Mugil liza is associated with lower salinity and can be classified as a Marine... |

| Tendo em vista que as populações de Jenynsia multidentata Jenyns, 1842 aparentemente atingem maiores comprimentos na região estuarina da Lagoa dos Patos quando comparadas com o ambiente límnico adjacente, foi realizado um experimento laboratorial, visando a comparação das taxas de crescimento, do comprimento e peso total dos juvenis da espécie mantidos em duas salinidades (zero e 16). Quatro proles de diferentes fêmeas foram separadas, logo após o parto, em aquários de quatro litros, sendo que metade dos indivíduos de cada prole foi submetida a salinidade zero e a outra metade a salinidade 16. Quatro aquários foram mantidos a temperatura constante de 28°C e, outros quatro aquários sofreram modificação da temperatura no décimo oitavo dia de experimento,... |
