INTRODUCTION Of all Brazil’s regions, the Amazonian biome has suffered most from political turmoil. While numerous projects promoted economic development and land use, parallel measures were taken to protect the bio- diversity of Amazonian fauna and flora (Capobianco et al. 2001).

INTRODUCTION

Of all Brazil’s regions, the Amazonian biome hassuffered most from political turmoil. While numerousprojects promoted economic development and landuse, parallel measures were taken to protect the bio-diversity of Amazonian fauna and flora (Capobiancoet al. 2001). However, these activities were hamperedby a shortage of concise data indicating key areas ofecological value, such as regions of hydrological con-nectivity, and a deficiency of pertinent criteria and re-commendations to define suitable areas for regionaldevelopment.

The Xingu River basin is a classic example of “un-planned development”. Incentives initiated by thestate government in the 1970s and 1980s led to un-controlled land use, road construction, and the estab-lishment of various hydroelectric projects (Kohlhepp2001). However, the presence of indigenous com-munities inhabiting the banks of the Xingu (Vieira& Andrade 1989), together with protests by ecolo-gical organizations, succeeded in minimizing the ex-tent of some of these activities in favor of natural land-scape protection.

Along its 1800 kilometers, the Xingu River basindrains different geochronological units (RADAM-Brasil 1978). In contrast to Andean Amazon tribu-taries, the Xingu River is characterized by stable pro-cesses of erosion and sedimentation (Sioli 1984). Aseries of geological events occurred from the upper tothe lower Xingu estuary, which led to the formationof numerous waterfalls and rapids. These landscapefeatures favored biodiversity and greatly influenced thedistribution patterns of aquatic fauna. It is estimatedthat close to 600 species of fish inhabit the Xingubasin, most of them frugivores and rheophilores (Ca-margo et al. 2002, Isaac et al. 2002).

The results of various surveys conducted along theXingu River and its tributaries have already beenpublished (Lowe-McConnell 1991, Bergleiter 1999,Zuanon 1999, Camargo et al. 2002, Isaac et al. 2002).However, to properly understand the ecological valueof the river basin and its fish fauna for regional bio-diversity, a synthesis of available data and discussionof fish species distribution throughout the river basinis necessary.

Abstract. This study is a comprehensive review of fish fauna data for the Xingu River system. Information was compiledfrom seven field surveys (conducted between 2001 and 2002), bibliographic references, and museum collection records.To provide data on the spatial distribution of fish species, the river basin was divided into six areas according to geographicaland hydrological characteristics. Fish species from 14 orders and 47 families were recorded; the most diverse orders wereCharaciformes (210 species), Siluriformes (146 species), Perciformes (62 species) and Gimnotiformes (20 species). Of the467 species identified, 69 were common to the whole river basin. Based on these results, two priority conservation areaswere identified: 1) headwater rivers, which are characterized by a diverse range of small characid and cichlid species andintense anthropogenic disturbance, and 2) middle section of the Xingu, from its confluence with the Irirí River to itsdownstream waterfalls near Belomonte village. This region is characterized by a high diversity of Cichlidae, particularlyTeleocichla, Anostomidae and Loricariidae families. Conserving these areas will help to maintain hydrological connectivityof the Xingu River system. Accepted 17 October 2004.

ship between the Guianas and the Central BrazilianShield (Géry 1969, Amorim & Pires 1996). This studytherefore, compiles all available data on the fish speciesof the Xingu River and its major tributaries, givingspecial emphasis to the spatial distribution of diffe-rent taxa, to help establish conservation priorities.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Data collection. Data on the fish fauna of Xingu River, including fish identification and location, werebased on: 1) results of seven field surveys conductedbetween October 2001 and June 2002 in the middleand lower sections of the Xingu River; 2) a biblio-graphic review of taxonomic descriptions and specieslistings, and 3) records from collections of nationaland international museums, available in NEODATII (2002) and FishBase (Froese & Pauly 2003) data-bases. Rainy season sampling took place in Decem-ber, February and May, while the dry season collec-tions occurred during July, August, October andNovember. Eleven locations, along a 189 kilometerstretch between the confluences of the Xingu and Iriri Rivers, and the town of Senador José Porfírio,were sampled bimonthly. Over 24 hours, 116 fishingprocedures were completed; gillnets of eight differentmesh sizes, 54 m in length and 2.5 m in height wereused. Additionally, field sampling with cast nets andhand nets were conducted in two tributaries of theIriri River during a “rapid assessment program” (RAP)carried out in the dry season of 2002. Taxonomic fish identification was made using various keys, such as Géry (1979), Vari (1989a, b, c; 1991; 1992a, b;1995), Ploeg (1991), Planquette et al. (1996) and LeBail et al. (2000). A list with fish species scientificnames and geographical coordinates was produced.

Based on 1) geomorphologic features, 2) hydro-logical characteristics, and 3) the forest classificationof “International Conservation of Brazil” along theXingu River basin, the basin was subdivided into sixareas (fig. 1):1) Xingu headwaters: A geomorphological unit of

fluvial plain deposition, with a pioneer phytoso-ciological unit. Waters in this area are usually clear,as vegetation cover supplies relatively few organiccompounds.

2) Irirí River microbasin: This area drains a denudedpediplain and zones of dissected structures, witha continual ombrophilous open forest. This is anarea of distinct geographical heterogeneity, gene-rated mainly by the waterfalls of the Curuá and

Irirí Rivers, which also act as natural barriers formany aquatic organisms.

3) Upstream Xingu: This drains geomorphologicallydifferent areas, such as the denuded pediplain andzones of dissected structures, before joining theIrirí River. The vegetation cover is relatively hetero-geneous and characterized mainly by small patchesof seasonal savannas dispersed in larger areas ofombrophilous dense and open forest.

4) Middle Xingu: This extends from the Xingu-Iriríconfluence to the Belomonte waterfalls, an areawith a rather uniform profile characterized by ageomorphologically dissected unit, occasionallyinterrupted by strongly dissected units and uni-formly covered by ombrophilous open forests.Currently suffering from strong anthropogenicdisturbance. Numerous rapids and waterfalls areresponsible for a high water flow and well-oxy-genated waters.

5) Bacajá River microbasin: An area of dissection thatsustains a dense ombrophilous forest. Its “U-shaped”well-defined watershed drains water from a largerocky area that is characterized by high particlelevels, in contrast to Xingu River water.

6) Lower Xingu: Downstream of the Belomonte fallsto the mouth of the Xingu, is included in the geo-morphological unit of the alluvial Amazon plain,which acts as a border between two dissectionunits. Ombrophilous open forest predominates inthe whole area, joining up with the pioneer herba-ceous communities near the mouth of the Xingu.Here the river is wider and the effects of the Ama-zon waters are pronounced.

RESULTS

Fish fauna diversity. In the Xingu River basin 467 fishspecies, belonging to 14 orders and 47 families, wereidentified (Appendix 1). The most diverse orders were:Characiformes (210 species), Siluriformes (146 spe-cies), Perciformes (62 species) and Gimnotiformes (20species). Other groups with a notably high biodi-versity were the Clupeiformes (10 species) and Raji-formes (6 species). The richer families, in terms of spe-cies number, were: Characidae (118 species), Cichlidae(57 species), Loricariidae (55 species), Anostomidae(33 species), Pimelodidae (21 species), Curimatidae(18 species), Doradidae (17 species), Auchenipteridae(16 species) and Hemiodontidae and Heptapteridae(12 species each).

Of all of these, small rheophilous fish were themost common. The replacement of those species with

opportunistic and allochthonous feeding habits (com-mon in the headwaters), by species which feed onautochthonous food sources, such as bottom feeders,perilithon suckers, and grazers of the seasonal flood-plain, was recorded.

Regional fish fauna similarities. Although fish recordsfor the Xingu depend on fishing equipment, fishingeffort, seasonality and the heterogeneity of habitats,factors that reduce the reliability of data on the geo-graphic distribution of organisms, it is still possible,based on taxonomic stability and known naturalhistory of the fish, to understand the differing geo-graphical distribution patterns of the hydrographicareas defined. Taxa widely dispersed along the Xingu

River usually include organisms with high ontogeneticplasticity, capable of dealing with sudden environ-mental change. This group of fish includes the pacus– Serrasalmidae Myleus rubripinnis, M. schomburgki,M. torquatus; piranhas – Serrasalmus humeralis, S.rhombeus, S. serrulatus; the trairas and jejus – Erythri-nidae Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus, Hoplias malabaricusand H. macrophthalmus, and the cachorras – Chara-cidae Hydrolicus tatauaia and Rhaphiodon vulpinus.

Headwaters were characterized by a relatively largenumber of endemic species of small size, such asDoradidae Rhynchodoras xingui; Characidae Macrop-sobrycon xinguensis, Hyphessobrycon mutabilis and H.loweae, other Characiformes like Astyanax saltor, A.

scintillans, A. symmetricus, Myleus arnoldi, Exodon pa-radoxus and Hemigrammus cf. iota, H. cf. levis, H. cf.marginatus, H. cf. tridens, H. rodwayi and Hyphes-sobrycon agulha, H. macrolepis, H. pulchripinnis, anda number of Moenkhausia such as M. cotinho and M. gracilima. Fish fauna similarity between the riverheadwaters and the upstream Xingu was mainly at-tributed to the wide geographical distribution of someCichlids, such as Apistograma commbrae and Meso-nauta acora.

Similarities observed between the middle Xinguand lower Xingu sections are indicated by the fishfauna that inhabits the main river channel of deeperor shallow waters, and greater spatial heterogeneity.These living environments sheltered large predatorssuch as Phractocephalus hemiliopterus, Zungaro zun-garo and Brachyplatystoma filamentosum, and fish in-habitants of stagnant and shallow waters such asHemiodus unimaculatus and Bivibranchia fowleri.However, it has to be noted that some fish, such asTeleocichla gephyrogramma, Anostomus ternetzi andPseudanos trimaculatus, inhabit areas of rapids.

The middle Xingu includes endemic species ofGymnotiformes, including Magadontognathus kaitu-kaensis, Porotergus sp., Sternarchogiton sp., Sternarcho-rhynchus curvirostris, Brachyhypopomus beebei, andCharaciformes such as Roeboexodon geryi, Bryconopsgiacopinii, and two Creagrutus species.

The current geographical distribution of endemicspecies that are rare in terms of population abundance,and so have a restricted distribution area, showed ataxa continuum from the headwaters to the waterfalls,upstream of Belomonte village, before the Xingu isinfluenced by the Amazon waters. These fish assem-blages include organisms typical of small and shallowwaters with slow currents, such as Callichthyidae –Corydoras xinguensis, Characidae – Moenkhausia xin-guensis, Cichlidae – Crenicichla rosaemariae, C. vitta-ta and Hypselacara temporalis, Sternopygidae – Sterno-pygus xingu, and Aspredinidae – Bunocephalus coracoi-deus and B. knerii.

DISCUSSION

The creation of interactive databases such as FishBase(Froese & Pauly 2003) and NEODAT II (2002)facilitates access to Neotropical fish systematics andgeographical distribution. Unfortunately, the quan-tity of information available is still limited, as variousscientific publications and museum records have yetto be incorporated into these databases. We believe

that by updating records in the museum collectionsconsulted, to include recent systematic revisions anddescriptions of new species, it would be possible tobring knowledge on both distribution areas and taxo-nomic stability of various species up to date.

A greater understanding of the taxonomic stabi-lity and natural history of fish species is fundamentalto understanding geographical distribution patternsand similarities within the ichthyofauna in the geo-graphical areas defined. The wide distribution of fishgroups within the Xingu system, also largely distrib-uted in the Amazonian basin, the Guianas systems,the Orinoco basin, and the São Francisco and Paranábasins, usually includes fish taxa with a high degreeof adaptability, capable of inhabiting a range of dif-ferent habitats.

Species widely distributed in the Xingu system andneighboring basins reveal long dispersal processes thatmust have begun before the formation of the currenthydrographic basins. The upper Xingu, where smallstreams characterized by strong water column seasonalvariations predominate, is inhabited by small chara-cids and cichlids (Lowe-McConnell 1991). The highdiversity of these small endemic fish species, widelydispersed between the Xingu River and other neigh-boring rivers like Tapajós and Araguaia, and in theGuianas systems, indicates radiation and diversifica-tion processes. These processes occurred before thegeological formation of the current basins, from theearly Cretaceous (120 mya) up to vicariant processesduring the middle Miocene (11 mya), confirming ahigh biogeographical affinity between the Guianasand the Central Brazilian Shield (Géry 1969, Amo-rim & Pires 1996).

Typical examples of these dispersal and vicariantprocesses are shown in the actual distribution of fishspecies with taxonomic stability. For instance, fish di-spersal from the headwaters is reported in callichthids,such as Corydoras, differentiated at the end of thePaleocene (43 mya) (Reis 1998). The fact that thesefish are better adapted to small streams indicates aheadwater differentiation and a subsequent down-stream dispersal process. Another example is given bythe genus Teleocichla, which shows a high diversity(nine species) upstream of the Belomonte falls. Cur-rent distribution patterns of this genus indicate a di-spersal process from the Tocantins River towards theneighboring systems like the Xingu and the Guianasthat occurred during the Miocene (Ploeg 1991).

The great diversification of Loricariidae in therapids is indicated by the overlap of niches of sub-

families such as Hypostominae, Ancistrinae and Lo-ricariinae (Montoya-Burgos et al. 1998). This over-lap indicates that a differentiation at the family leveloccurred before the actual Amazonian basin drainagegenesis, and that subsequent vicariance processes byrivers like the Xingu isolated present-day endemic spe-cies such as Hypancistrus zebra, and another conge-neric taxon, and Glyptoperichthys xinguensis.

Distribution patterns of fish groups confirm thehypothesis of biogeographical affinities between theGuianas and the East Amazon drainage systems, in-dicated also by some amphibians and lizards (Ron2000), and birds (Prum 1988), with distribution pat-terns in the Guianas, Orinoco, and upper Tapajós,Xingu and Tocantins Rivers. Current knowledge onthe biodiversity of the Xingu River fish fauna showsthat more efforts should be deployed to provide dataon the estimated 600 species (Camargo et al. 2002)that have not yet been properly studied. We have adetailed knowledge of the main channel fish fauna,but studies in small Xingu tributaries are rare. Ques-tions such as why the genus Parodon, recorded in the Tapajós and Tocantins Rivers is absent from theXingu, have yet to be elucidated. Similarly, the ab-sence of Creagrutus in previous phylogenetic analyses(Vari & Harold 2001) demonstrates gaps in the know-ledge of the Xingu River ichthyofauna.

We conclude that the present geographical dis-tribution of the fish fauna is a response to the variousgeological and environmental processes that led to theformation of the Xingu system. We expected a gene-ral diversification of fish fauna from the headwaters,which probably took place before the actual drainageof the Xingu basin, and subsequent processes of suc-cessive dispersal along the river. Recent groups prob-ably dispersed after the formation of the Amazoniandrainage system.

Despite great collection efforts in some areas ofthe Xingu basin, little is known about the fish faunaof small tributaries, which are surely important con-tributors to the expected diversity. In order to fill thisgap, a research priority should be the careful study ofall small streams. More surveys should be made of theheadwaters of the Xingu River, where degradation dueto anthropogenic activity is high around protected in-digenous Xingu reserves, and similarly in the middleXingu region, where the negative effects of anthropo-genic activity are high. A final point is that even alongthe Xingu River large areas of natural landscape arefound where it is not possible to ascertain whether ornot aquatic resources have been altered. Events of a-

quatic defaunation, as a consequence of uncontrolledhuman activities such as fishing and gold washing, areoften imperceptible.

According to the hydrological connectivity theory(Pringle 2001), when aiming to secure a longitudinalnatural process, such as the linkage between the head-waters and the lower Xingu, it appears to be of primeimportance to make the headwaters area a priority area for conservation, based on the relatively numerousanthropogenic disturbances occurring in that area.Another priority area for conservation would be thelarge river bend (cotubelo) downstream of the townof Altamira, as present fish records from this area showa relatively high percentage of endemic species.
