The present work studied the reproduction of the flatfish Etropus crossotus in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex, Paraná State, subtropical region of Brazil. Monthly collections of biological material occurred from October 2008 to October 2009, at seven sampling sites, through ten-minute otter trawl surveys in the shallow infralittoral areas of the estuary. Temperature, water salinity, photoperiod, and rainfall data were also recorded. Ovarian histology was used to: 1 - describe ovarian development microscopically, 2 - make the quantitative analyses of both sexes more precise. The maturation curve, the frequency of gonadal maturation states and the condition factor verified that the reproductive period occurred from October to January. The frequency of young... |

The spatial and temporal distribution of Sphoeroides greeleyi and Sphoeroides testudineus were established from collections (biological material and environmental data) conducted on a monthly basis from May 2000 to April 2001 in intertidal areas along the north-south axis of the estuarine complex of Paranaguá, Paraná State. In addition to characterizing a north-south spatial gradient, which fluctuates seasonally, the variation in the abiotic factors made possible the division of the estuary into three regions: north, central and south. Spatially, it was found that the number of individuals declines significantly for both species in the north-south direction of the estuary. Moreover, significant differences were found in the size of individuals across the... |
