| The effects of tourist visitation and food provisioning on fish assemblages were assessed by visual censuses (stationary technique) carried out in a tropical reef in Northeastern Brazil. Comparisons of species abundance, richness, equitability, and trophic structure in the presence (PT) and absence (AT) of tourists suggest that tourist visitation and supplementary food influenced the structure of the fish assemblage, as follows: (a) diversity, equitability and species richness were significantly higher on the AT period, while the abundance of a particular species was significantly higher during PT; (b) trophic structure differed between the AT and PT periods, omnivores being more abundant during the latter period, while mobile invertivores, piscivores,... |

| This paper presents the results of the first analysis of the natural diet of Hippocampus reidi, one of the most sought after seahorse species in the international aquarium trade. Its main goals were to investigate food items and prey categories consumed by the species, and to discuss feeding strategy and inter and intra-individual components of niche breadth. Data were gathered from October 2005 to September 2006 at the Mamanguape estuary, State of Paraíba, NE Brazil. Food items from seahorses anaesthetized with clove oil were obtained by using a modified version of the flushing method, and were counted and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Specimens were marked and had their height, sex, life and reproductive stage recorded, and then... |

| Em 2005, um conjunto de entidades iniciou formalmente um processo através do Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Renováveis (IBAMA) para a criação de uma unidade de conservação de proteção integral englobando os estuários Camurupim/Cardoso e Timonha/Ubatuba, no Estado do Piauí. Entre as espécies-bandeira capazes de angariar apoio para a proteção dos referidos estuários, encontra-se o cavalo-marinho Hippocampus reidi, foco do presente trabalho. Os resultados do nosso estudo de um ano, na área em questão, mostraram a existência de uma população residente de H. reidi, encontrada em 19 habitats e com uma das mais altas densidades já reportadas para a espécie (0,04 ind/m²). Esta informação reforça a importância crucial de apoio adicional à... |
