Relationships among catches, fishing effort and river morphology for eight rivers in Amazonas State (Brazil), during 1976-1978

, 1983
For eight rivers in the Amazonas State (Brazil), it is shown that the annual number of fìshermen and dummy variables, which identify the rivers, explain 98.8 % of the landings at Manaus market.

The effect of environmental factors on transepithelial potential in a model Amazonian teleost, the tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum): Implications for sodium balance in harsh environments

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum, G. Cuvier 1818) thrives both in the ion‐poor waters of the Amazon and in commercial aquaculture. In both, environmental conditions can be harsh due to low ion levels, occasional high salt challenges (in aquaculture), low pH, extreme PO2 levels (hypoxia and hyperoxia), high PCO2 levels (hypercapnia), high ...

A new species of Ribautiella (Myriapoda, Symphyla, Scolopendrellidae) from an Amazonian black-water inundation forest and notes on its natural history and ecology

, 1984
Ribautiella amazonica is described from a black-water inundation forest near Manaus, Brazil. The genus is recorded for the first time for the Americas. R. amazonica was predominantly collected from the forest soil, mainly between 7 and 14 cm depth and is

Oxygen consumption from air and water, ammonia and urea‐N excretion, and Na+ fluxes during progressive aquatic hypoxia in Amazonian armoured catfish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps and Pterygoplichthys pardalis

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Amazonian loricariid fish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, from the Rio Negro, and Pterygoplichthys pardalis, from the Rio Solimões, are facultative air‐breathers that can use the stomach as an air‐breathing organ. Measurement of oxygen uptake under progressive aquatic hypoxia revealed a relatively high hypoxia resistance of both species.

Temporary fat storage, an adaptation of some fish species to the waterlevel fluctuations and related environmental changes of the Amazon river

, 1985
Analysis of Amazonian freshwater fish exhibited great differences in water- and fat content. Migratory species which deposit huge amounts of eggs in a single spawning act accumulate at high water-level great amounts of fat in various parts of the body ...

Nitrogen excretion and oxygen consumption under severe hypoxia in siluriform fishes from the Amazon

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Siluriform fishes collected from the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões proved to be highly resistant to aquatic hypoxia. In all four species analysed in this study, aquatic oxygen consumption significantly decreased from normoxic levels at water PO2 values near 1 kPa. Air‐breathing activity was observed only in Sturisoma sp. (Rio Negro).

Foliar nutrient levels of native tree species from Central Amazonia. 2. Campina

, 1985
Adult leaves of 14 woody species were sampled in the campina at km 62 of the road Manaus - Caracaraí. The lamina were classified as to their size and analysed for N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Na. Comparing the foliar levels of the bioelements to relevant data for

Branchial localization of acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) excreting ionocytes in Amazonian stenohaline freshwater Potamotrygon ray

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The branchial epithelium of Potamotrygon—a member of the only strictly freshwater elasmobranch family Potamotrygonidae—was observed via immunohistochemistry, and two distinct forms of ionocytes were identified. The acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) secreting cells with respective basolateral–apical localizations of Na+/K+‐ATPase–Na+/H+ exchanger
