摘要

Peacock basses (Cichlaspp.) are native to the Amazon basin but introduced to different parts of the world. Almost thirty years ago,Cichla kelberiwas introduced in an impoundment of the Sao Joao River, a coastal system in southeastern Brazil. Recently, this cichlid invaded the estuarine section of the basin. This study aims to analyze spatial and temporal variations in catch ofC. kelberiand fish assemblage structure along the estuarine stretch of this river and how abiotic variables affect their distribution. Sampling was performed in four segments downstream of the dam. Principal component analysis revealed that abiotic variables displayed temporal and spatial variation, in part due to the salinity gradient, that were more pronounced in the dry season.Cichla kelberioccurred in all segments, but mainly in shallow and vegetated habitats of the middle course and barely in the most downstream. Eighty-one fish species were recorded, nine of which were non-native, representing 33.4% of total catch. A redundancy analysis indicated that the fish assemblages showed marked spatial variation, mostly related to the salinity gradient. The lowermost segment of the river was dominated by marine species, the only locality where non-native species summed less than 40% of the catches. In the upstream segments, higher oxygen levels and lower temperatures influenced the occurrence of most species. Higher salinity of the estuary seems to limit the spread ofC. kelberi, but the invader may reach adjacent basins in years of exceptional floods. The eurihalinity and piscivory ofC. kelberipartly explain its invasive success.
