          Abstract

          Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the structure of the fish assemblage in the ten years following the closing of the lake of the Itá Hydroelectric Power Plant. Seasonal collections were conducted from 2001 to 2010. During this period, 44,834 fish were captured, totaling 3,818.01 kg, among 8 orders, 24 families and 84 species. In general, profound changes were not observed in the fish assemblage in the ten years after the formation of the Itá lake. Few species changed in dominance over time, while many were rare in the environment. The ichthyofauna in the reservoir was dominated by small and medium size opportunist species that conduct short or no migratory movements. Among the most abundant, six species were responsible for more than 50% of the numeric representation: Steindachnerina brevipinna, Astyanax fasciatus, Apareiodon affinis, Hypostomus isbrueckeri, Iheringichthys labrosus and Loricariichthys anus. The increase in the representation of the later species stood out. The biomass was dominated by Steindachneridion scriptum, Prochilodus lineatus, I. laborsus, Schizodon nasutus, Hoplias malabaricus, Acestrorhynchus pantaneiro, Hoplias lacerdae, H. isbrueckeri and L. anus. Despite the presence of large migrators in the region of the reservoir, their vulnerability was revealed by the low numeric abundance and accidental capture. The k-dominance curve of numerical abundance and biomass indicates a moderately disturbed community, in which the representation of small species was also important to the amounts of biomass.

          Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a estrutura da assembleia de peixes nos dez anos seguintes ao fechamento do lago da Usina Hidrelétrica de Itá. Para isto, foram realizadas coletas com periodicidade sazonal no período compreendido entre 2001 e 2010. Durante o período de estudo, foram capturados 44834 peixes, totalizando 3818,01 kg, distribuídos em 8 ordens, 24 famílias e 84 espécies. De uma forma geral, a assembleia de peixes não mostrou alterações profundas nos dez anos após a formação do lago de Itá. Poucas espécies alternam-se na dominância ao longo do tempo, enquanto muitas mostraram-se como raras no ambiente. A ictiofauna do reservatório foi dominada por espécies oportunistas, de pequeno e médio porte e que realizam curtos ou nenhum movimento migratório. Entre as mais abundantes, seis espécies foram responsáveis por mais de 50% da representatividade numérica, sendo elas: Steindachnerina brevipinna, Astyanax fasciatus, Apareiodon affinis, Hypostomus isbrueckeri, Iheringichthys labrosus e Loricariichthys anus. Destaque para aumento da representatividade deste último. Já para a biomassa, destacaram-se: Steindachneridion scriptum, Prochilodus lineatus, I. labrosus, Schizodon nasutus, Hoplia smalabaricus, Acestrorhynchus pantaneiro, Hoplias lacerdae, H. isbrueckeri e L. anus. Apesar da presença de grandes migradores na área do reservatório, sua vulnerabilidade ficou evidenciada pelas baixas abundâncias numéricas e capturas acidentais. A curva de k-dominância de abundância numérica e de biomassa indicou uma comunidade moderadamente perturbada, na qual a representatividade de espécies de pequeno porte foi importante também para os valores de biomassa.
