Biological attributes of Steindachnerina insculpta (Fernandez-Yepez, 1948) (Curimatidae) in two reservoirs of middle Paranapanema River, Brazil

Abstract

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os atributos biológicos de Steindachnerina insculpta em duas represas do médio rio Paranapanema. Os peixes foram coletados com redes de espera bimestralmente em quatro áreas da represa de Salto Grande e trimestralmente em cinco áreas de Chavantes. Após a confirmação da espécie, foram obtidos os dados biométricos, comprimento padrão, peso total e o sexo. Estas informações foram utilizadas para avaliar os atributos biológicos (abundância, razão sexual, relação peso-comprimento, fator de condição e a distribuição em classes de tamanho) para cada área. Para ambas as represas a proporção sexual diferiu de 1:1 e o tipo de crescimento foi alométrico positivo. O fator de condição e as classes de tamanho variaram entre as áreas amostradas. Para as duas represas a classe de tamanho mais representativo foi entre 9,1 e 10,5 cm. Este trabalho demonstra que os atributos biológicos das populações de S. insculpta variam ao longo das áreas das duas represas, refletindo a capacidade de ajuste da espécie.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biological attributes of Steindachnerina insculpta in two reservoirs of middle Paranapanema River. Fish were collected with gillnets every two months at four sites of the Salto Grande Reservoir and quarterly at five sites of the Chavantes Reservoir. After confirmation of the species, were obtained biometric data, standard length, total weight and sex. This information was used to assess the biological attributes (abundance, sex ratio, length-weight relationship, condition factor and size class distribution) for each area. In both reservoirs, the sex ratio of the total samples differed from 1:1 and growth was positive allometric. The condition factor and length varied between sites. The most representative size class at all sites was 9.1 to 10.5 cm. This study demonstrates that the biological attributes of populations of S. insculpta are modified along the areas of the two reservoirs, reflecting the ability to adjust the species.
