Peixes da comunidade Shuar Kaputna, bacia inferior do rio Santiago, sul da Amazônia, Equador
ABSTRACT
We conducted a fish inventory in the main aquatic ecosystems of the Kaputna Shuar Center, in the lower basin of the Santiago River, southern Amazon of Ecuador, in September 2021 and August 2022. Fishes were sampled using two cast nets, one trawl net, two gill nets, two hand nets and hooks of different sizes. A total of 740 individuals from 144 species, 35 families and eight orders were captured. The orders Siluriformes and Characiformes were the most abundant and diverse, and Hyphessobrycon sp. (Characidae) was the most abundant species. Of the reported species, 2.7% are new records for Ecuador and 52.7% are new records for the Morona-Santiago ichthyogeographic area. There are probably a number of new species that have yet to be described.
