摘要

Catfishes (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) in the Amazon River Basin serve important ecological and economic roles in structuring foodwebs, transferring nutrients and providing food resources for human populations. Large-scale developments such as construction of the Interoceanic Highway and associated proposed hydroelectric facilities could lead to alterations in river hydrology and aquatic ecosystems within Amazon headwater regions. We assessed temporal and spatial distribution patterns of catfish larvae to determine spawning location (highlands or lowlands) and larval drift patterns associated with rainfall events in the Andean-Amazon headwaters. We found significant differences in larval fish catch between transects with highest catches occurring in the Madre de Dios River, suggesting that the primary spawning habitats for these catfishes were in regions upstream of our sampling region within the Peruvian Andes. Highest larval catfish catches generally occurred near shore and in association with seasonal pulses in river flow. Based on our observations, we propose that this section of the Madre de Dios River is near the first identified spawning area for Pimelodidae species in the Peruvian Andes, and from this river reach larvae are transported downstream with each seasonal flood event with peak transport generally occurring in October, November and December. This research documents the important role the Madre de Dios Basin plays as spawning habitat for a key fish family in the Amazon River by serving as a corridor both for adult catfish spawning migrations and downstream larval fish transport. Given the critical role these catfishes play in structuring aquatic ecosystems in the Andean-Amazon region, their importance as a food resource for local people, and increasing threats to this riverine ecosystem associated with dam construction and channel modification, it is important to maintain and protect natural hydrologic conditions in the Madre de Dios to minimize losses of these ecosystem goods and services.
