Reproductive seasonality of the fish fauna and limnoecology of semi-arid Brazilian reservoirs

The native fish fauna commonly found in the drainage basins of rivers and reservoirs of Latin America, including those of the semi-arid Northeastern Brazil, are representatives of the Neotropical region. This work reports on the reproductive ecology of five commercially important and consumable nati...
