Composição e abundância de peixes da interface entre as águas abertas e bancos de macrófitas e sua dinâmica nos períodos de crepúsculos matutino e vespertino, no lago Catalão, Amazonas, Brasil

This work studied the composition and abundance of the fishes that move between macrophyte banks and open water during the morning twilight (CM) and afternoon twilight (CV). The collections were made using gillnets, along banks of Paspalum repens, at Catalão lake, in Amazonas, Brazil. A total of 222 individuals and 37 species were collected. Of these, 130 individuals were collected during the CM and 92 during the CV; 80 individuals were leaving during the CM and 40 individuals were leaving during the CV. Auchenipterus nuchalis, Pellona castelnaeana, Triportheus angulatus and T. albus were the most common and concentrated species collected in the CM and Pimelodus blochii was the most common species collected in the CV. O presente trabalho objetivou verificar a composição e abundância de peixes que realizam movimentos entre os bancos de macrófitas e as águas abertas durante os períodos dos crepúsculos matutino (CM) e vespertino (CV). As coletas foram realizadas no lago do Catalão, Amazonas, Brasil, com malhadeiras adjacentes a bancos de Paspalum repens. Foram coletados um total de 222 indivíduos e 37 espécies. 130 indivíduos no CM e 92 no CV, 80 indivíduos foram encontrados saindo no CM e 40 na direção de saída no CV. Auchenipterus nuchalis, Pellona castelnaeana, Triportheus angulatus e T. albus foram as espécies mais capturadas e concentradas no CM, sendo espécie Pimelodus blochii a mais abundantes no CV.
