Os diversos ambientes estuarinos estão hidrologicamente e ecologicamente conectados e fornecem funções vitais para muitos organismos aquáticos. Segregações espaciais e temporais foram observadas na estrutura das assembléias de peixes (biomassa média) nos ambientes de canal subtidal e de entremaré não vegetado do estuário do rio Marapanim, Norte do Brasil. Amostragens mensais de peixes foram conduzidas de agosto de 2006 a julho de 2007 nos ambientes de canal subtidal e de entremaré não vegetado usando arrasto de fundo e puçá de arrasto, respectivamente. Um total de 41.496 indivíduos pertencentes a 29 famílias e 76 espécies foi coletado. A riqueza das espécies apresentada no ambiente subtidal (71 espécies) foi superior ao observado de entremaré não vegetado (51 espécies). Diferentes associações na composição das espécies e guildas funcionais foram observadas entre os ambientes de canal subtidal e de entremaré não vegetado, através da Análise de Correspondência Destendenciada. Diferenças significativas na composição das assembléias de peixes foram encontradas entre os ambientes, períodos e zonas através da análise de similaridade (ANOSIM). Foi verificado que os sedimentos finos (silte-argila), areia e salinidade foram os fatores mais importantes estruturando as assembléias de peixes. Em síntese, esses resultados podem estar associados à tolerância a fatores ambientais e aos diferentes tipos de alimentação.

The São Paulo State has as one of its main rivers the Tietê, which is an extremely important source because of its biodiversity, use in navigation and mainly as direct supplier of water for thousands of people in the region. Currently, the biodiversity of marine and freshwater ecosystems has been threatened, primarily by environmental problems resulting from the degradation of ecosystems, an example is the stretch of the Middle Tietê River, where the Barra Bonita dam (SP) focused virtually the whole load organic effluents from the metropolitan region of São Paulo, leading to eutrophication with the loss of water quality. This basin is located in the Peixe’s River, a tributary of the Barra Bonita whose sources are on the slopes of the Cuesta de Botucatu, presenting an altitudinal gradient in a good state of conservation and water quality. From another perspective, the studies related to parasites and other pathogens of aquatic organisms have considerably increased the relevance, especially those hosts with potential for growing and marketing, given the significant increase these activities in Brazil and worldwide. Among the agents responsible for diseases in fish are the myxosporean, which can cause major economic damage, with high mortality ratios. Based on the above, this study evaluated the biodiversity of myxosporean parasites of two species of fish Acestrorhynchus lacustris and Steindachnerina insculpta. During the period January to November 2012, 40 specimens of Acestrorhynchus lacustris and 33 specimens of Steindachnerina insculpta were collected from the Peoxe’s river at four different points. The necropsies were performed and all organs were analyzed looking for myxosporean. Only the species Steindachnerina insculpta had their gills parasitized by two species of the genus Henneguya

Aquatic ecosystems are suffering many impacts caused by human activities resulting from the activities occurring around them. With technological progress observed in recent years, this environment has received large amounts of chemicals from industries, agriculture and urban area that affect the aquatic biota. Among these sources of contamination, the oil industry has contributed to the pollution of aquatic environments with both effluents as produced water well as oil spills and their derivatives having toxicity to various organisms. With all the environmental issues has increased concern about water quality and has been used ecotoxicological tests with aquatic organisms to ecosystems to assess the toxicity of chemicals present in the water. In this context the microcrustacea Daphnia similis stands out as a freshwater organism very representative of the aquatic fauna of rivers and high sensitivity to environmental impacts. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the lethal toxicity of crude oil and produced water on this microcrustacea. The results showed that the microcrustacea presented high sensitivity to contaminants primarily crude oil. There was also the influence of environmental variables pH and temperature on the survival of organisms
