Descrição da diversidade ictiofaunística em uma área de várzea, Comunidade do Parananema, Município de Parintins, Amazonas

Abstract

Ichthyofaunistic diversity in floodplain areas is an important topic for the understanding of aquatic biodiversity. The study area of this study took place in an extension of the Parananema lake, located in the municipality of Parintins, in the interior of Amazonas. The monograph presented to the Biological Sciences course aims to describe the ichthyofaunistic diversity present in the Parananema lake. The study collection was carried out in May 2023, and it was carried out in accordance with the fish collection and identification protocols available in the literature. The animals were taken to the Laboratory of the Center for Research in Aquatic Biology (LNPBIO), at the University of the State of Amazonas, Centro de Ensino Superior de Parintins (CESP). Fixed in formaldehyde and placed in jars with 70% alcohol, they were described and listed following the order of the ichthyological collection present at LNPBIO. During the collection, a total of 43 individuals belonging to 17 different species, distributed in 9 families and 4 orders, were collected. These results can serve as a basis for studies in floodplain areas in the municipality of Parintins.
