Biologia populacional de Bryconamericus turiuba - Langeani, Lucena, Pedrini & Tarelho-Pereira, 2005 - no Rio Passa Cinco, sub-bacia do Rio Corumbataí, SP

O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a população de Bryconamericus turiuba do rio Passa Cinco com relação à estrutura em comprimento, proporção sexual, dinâmica alimentar, aspectos reprodutivos e condição corporal. O local estudado é um dos principais rios da sub-bacia do rio Corumbataí. Foram amostradas três pontos na região do alto curso contemplando trechos de ordem 2, 3 e 4. As amostragens foram realizadas ao longo de um ano e os apetrechos de pesca utilizados foram: peneira,, aparelho de pesca elétrica e covos. Foram capturados 191 indivíduos, sendo a maior quantidade no ponto 2 e na estação de cheia. A estrutura em comprimento da espécie revelou que os indivíduos não ultrapassaram 8 cm de comprimento padrão e que machos e fêmeas apresentaram comprimentos diferentes, sendo as fêmeas maiores que os machos. A proporção sexual não diferiu do esperado. Houve diferença entre os graus de gordura acumulada na cavidade visceral e graus de repleção estomacal dos peixes entre os pontos e épocas, sendo que na seca todos os indivíduos capturados apresentavam-se sem gordura. Foram analisados 49 estômagos. Onze diferentes itens alimentares foram encontrados nos conteúdos estomacais, sendo que inseto terrestre adulto apresentou-se como preferencial em alto grau. As dietas não apresentaram diferença entre os pontos de coleta nem entre as épocas. A maioria dos indivíduos com gônadas maduras foi capturada na estação seca, indicando que a reprodução ocorre neste período e estende-se por vários meses. Foram analisados 42 pares de ovários maduros. A fecundidade obtida foi 576 ovócitos, com diâmetro variando de 147 Vm a 1.176 Vm. A espécie em estudo pode ser considerada estrategista-k quanto as suas táticas reprodutivas, por possuir baixa fecundidade, pequeno porte e desova prolongada durante...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Metodologia para determinação de volume de detenção em pequenas bacias urbanas: o caso do córrego Wenzel, Rio Claro/SP

With the accelerated urbanization process of Brazil from the 50s, there was a disorderly occupation of spaces and consequent soil sealing. Unlike this growth, the support capacity of urban environments has not evolved in the same way, generating negative environmental impacts to the citizens. Among these impacts are the effects of flooding. In order to minimize the negative effects of extreme precipitation over cities, the government invests in corrective measures, like compensatory techniques on urban drainage, which have as a basic principle the retention and infiltration of the rainfall, dampening the peak flow and runoff. An example of applying these techniques in urban areas are the detention basins, commonly called large pools. The hydraulic design of these structures is dependent of complex data and variables, and projects involving small areas generally use simplified methods for defining the reservoirs volume of the storage (Tassi, 2005). One of these methods is presented in this study, which relates to the percentage of soil sealing to the specific storage volume (m³/ha) in combination by applying the hydrological model of the Rational Method and analyzing regional rainfall and soil occupation over the basin. Within this context, the basin of the Wenzel stream, which is located amidst the urban area of Rio Claro/SP, also presents the problems related to human occupation in its valley. Thus, by the method presented has been adjusted a curve correlating the percentage of impermeable area and the specific volume of a detention basin. For the current situation of Wenzel Basin with 82% of impermeable area, and return period of 10 years, the specific volume is 262.1 m³/ha. The presented method is consistent with the results of other studies in the area, and the expression obtained allows estimating the volume of storage required to match hydrograph pre and post-occupancy. It presents itself as a useful tool in the planning stage of...

Fator de condição e biologia alimentar de Pimelodus maculatus em três pontos do Rio Piracicaba (SP)

A number of 170 individuals of the species Pimelodus maculatus, a Neotropical fish known as mandi was collected in three distinct locations of the Piracicaba river (Piracicaba, Santa Maria da Serra and Americana – SP0 from April 2009 to February 2010. A common species of catfish whose individuals exist in many neotropical basins was observed to get more information about a possible influence of the water conditions in distant parts of a same river to its condition and also to verify whether the stomach contents of fish collected in these distinct places may distinguish as a possible consequence of food availability. The species were studied by collecting biological data such as standard length (SL) in cm, their total weights (TW ) in grams and sexes to see the composition of fish present in the samples. Length-weight relationships are important means to investigate facts related to the condition of the species in these systems. The analysis was made by using covariance to observe if individuals of similar lengths collected in distinct places may be compared to this purpose. Usual methods to investigate relationships of stomach food contents were applied. By analyzing the condition factor, one may conclude that the mandis collected in the region of Santa Maria da Serra presented similar characteristics to those obtained in Piracicaba, but they differ in this aspect for individuals collected in Americana. This fact is not conclusive about the reasons of this situation, but it may be a first step to other studies in order to get more information about. The degree of stomach repletion may be a first approach to this possible explanation, as individuals of Piracicaba presented usually full stomachs and differed in this way to individuals collected in the two other places

Ocorrência de evento climático extremo na cidade de Rio Claro-SP: episódio 24 e 25 de fevereiro de 2010

This work focuses on the analysis of extreme precipitation episode in the city of Rio Claro, held on 24 and 25 February 2010, which caused severe impacts to society, and a victim of drowning due to flooding due to flood in urban stream. Although the temporal concentration of summer rainfall is characteristic of tropical climatic regimes, each year there are issues of social and environmental impacts deflagrated by precipitation events in the city. These findings reinforce the importance of analyzing atmospheric conditions correlated to change in space usage

Avaliação dos aspectos da dieta alimentar de Pimelodus maculatus em dois importantes tributários do reservatório de Jurumirim, Alto Rio Paranapanema-SP

The species Pimelodus maculatus is one of the most abundant fish in many artificial reservoirs. Shows feeding plasticity and exploits all trophic levels in aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed to analyze and compare aspects of the diet of P. maculatus in two important tributaries (Taquari and Veados rivers) in the upper Paranapanema River system, and also investigate possible differences in the condition factor using its feeding habit as reference. Samplings were carried out every three months during 2011 and 2012 in two tributaries of Jurumirim's dam. After biometric analysis, fish were dissected to remove the stomachs that were fixed in formaldehyde 10% and conserved in alcohol 70%. The stomach content was analyzed under stereomicroscope and the food items were identified until the least possible taxonomic level. The diet was characterized based on the Alimentary Index (IAi). Feeding strategy and aspects of species autoecology were evaluated by the relation between abundance of prey-specific (Pi) and occurrence frequency (Fo) of the prey, and also was calculated the niche width of Levin (B). The condition factor was also established and values obtained in samples of both rivers were compared, correlating them with diet of the species

Diagnóstico dos elementos de drenagem da área urbana de Rio Claro - SP: subsídeos para o plano diretor

The management of urban areas must consider aspects related to urban drainage, especially in hot and humid environments, and such aspects must be incorporated on director plans. This is quite important in urban areas settled on natural fragile hydro-geomorphologic areas. So, the main aim of this paper was to present the urban drainage diagnostic made in Rio Claro (SP-Brazil), discussing its results and evaluating the applied techniques. Further, there were presented some proposed directions based on such analyses. From the obtained results it was possible to verify that the impacts caused by the inefficient urban drainage system incur on direct and indirect effects such as flood, erosion and water quality degradation.

Análise de uso da terra e sua interferência em enchentes na região do Córrego Lavapés, Rio Claro (SP)

The development of cities is initially nearby rivers and with the intensification of the urbanization process occurs the soil sealing, leading to an increased level of water runoff, and, consequently, in a greater number of floods. The main goal of this study is to verify the interference of land occupation in the floods of the Lavapés Stream basin, Rio Claro (SP), in five temporal series, 1962, 1972, 1988, 1995 and 2014. The characterizations of land use were made from photo-interpretation and, thus, were produced thematic maps on scale 1: 20.000. The description of the Soil Conservation Service, 2007 was the basis for the classification of land use, thus achieving the CN parameter (Curve Number) used in hydrologic modeling done in IPHS1 program. The results indicate that soil sealing associated with the growth of the city of Rio Claro are responsible for increasing of the discharge in the Lavapés Stream basin and floods in this watershed

Avaliação preliminar da qualidade da água em duas microbacias do Rio Mogi (SP) .

A expansão da atividade agrícola na bacia hidrográfica do rio Mogi-Guaçu pode causar alguns impactos ambientais graves. Durante o período compreendido entre maio de 2005 e maio de 2006 foram coletadas amostras de água e sedimento para a triagem de organismos bentônicos, visando a sua identificação como bioindicadores. As famílias de macroinvertebrados bentônicos tolerantes à poluição foram encontradas em todos os pontos amostrados, enquanto as famílias sensíveis ficaram restritas a ambientes com pouca influência das áreas agrícolas. O oxigênio dissolvido atingiu sua concentração máxima em um dos pontos de coleta mais preservados do rio Oriçanga. Além disso, os mapas de uso da terra comprovam os dados obtidos referentes aos indicadores de qualidade de água, pois o grau de preservação está diretamente relacionado às culturas agrícolas, às pastagens e às áreas preservadas de mata ciliar.

Composição e distribuição dos Crustácea (Decapoda) na Lagoa do Peixe, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

The Lagoa do Peixe (Peixe's Lagoon) is located between Atlantic Ocean and Lagoa dos Patos and is 30 Km long and 0,5-2,0 Km wide (31º13'S, 50º55'W -31º26'S, 51º09'). For one year, the composition and distribution of Crustácea Decapoda were analyzed monthly (from July/1994 to June/1995), in seven subareas (terrestrial border and aquatic area) and physical and chemical parameters (depth, salinity, sediment texture, oxygen in water, organic material of sediment and water temperature) were registered. Decapoda from the families Grapsidae, Ocypodidae, Portunidae (Brachyura), Diogenidae (Anomura) and Penaeidae (Penaeidea) were captured. Chasmagnathus granulata Dana 1851 was found ali months near the canal connecting Atlantic Ocean and Lagoa do Peixe, but inside the lagoon it was collected only in October/94 and June/95, and in extreme subareas it was sampled in February/95 when the salinity was 31 at these sites. Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896 and Cyrtograpsus angulatus Dana, 1851 were captured throughout the year, except October/94 and April/95, respectively. Both species were found in ali áreas of sample, indicating a high plasticity in relation to the factors analyzed in this study. Another species captured probably come in the lagoon in specific months, when the environment provides ideal conditions for their develo-pments.
