摘要

The Mazaruni River of Guyana runs from its origin in the remote Pakaraima Mountains to its confluence with the Cuyuni River near the town of Bartica. The upper Mazaruni runs through the eastern edge of the Guiana Shield escarpment and is separated from the lower portion of the drainage by a series of waterfalls that create a formidable barrier for fish movement. The rivers and streams of the upper Mazaruni drain the eastern 'Pantepui' region of the Guiana Shield and remained almost completely unexplored until very recently. The remoteness and extraordinary biodiversity of the Guiana Shield highlands make this region of significant evolutionary and ecological interest (e.g. Rull 2005, 2007; Vari & Ferraris 2009; Salerno et al. 2012). However, the absence of detailed faunal surveys has limited our understanding of biological diversity and conservation challenges in the region (Alofs et al. 2013).
