Fueron examinados 82 Hoplosternum littorale capturados en dos arroyos contaminados en la ciudad de Manaus: São Raimundo y Educandos, entre octubre a noviembre del 2010. La longitud y peso promedio de los peces analizados fueron de 114,87±71cm y 116,53±24,01g, respectivamente. Los análisis químicos de los tejidos fueron realizados con ayuda de un sistema de Espectroscopía por Dispersión de Energía (EDS) en conjunto con un Microscopio Electrónico de Barrido (MEB). Fue determinada la composición química puntual cualitativa y semicuantitativa en larvas de Clinostomum marginatum, Tylodelphis destructor y de la metacercaria progenética de Herpetodiplostomum caimanicola, utilizando la emisión de rayos X característicos. Los microanálisis por EDS determinaron la presencia de carbono (C); oxígeno (O): hierro (Fe); Zinc (Zn); aluminio (Al); silicio (Si); fósforo (P); azufre (S); potasio (K); calcio (Ca); cloro (Cl); cobre (Cu); plomo (Pb); manganeso (Mn); platino (Pt); tungsteno (W) y cobalto (Co). Los metales pesados detectados Cu, Pb y W son indicadores de polución en los arroyos, y las metacercarias de Digenea son altamente tolerantes a estos elementos de acumulación.

Hoplosternum Littorale

Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock, 1828) (Siluriformes, Callichthyidae) é um peixe de médio porte conhecido na Amazônia brasileira como tamoatá. Apresenta respiração acessória, o que permite ocupar as extensas áreas pantanosas da foz dos rios Amazonas e Orinoco. O tamoatá é o principal recurso pesqueiro da ilha de Marajó, sendo capturado principalmente nos campos alagados da bacia do rio Arari, no município de Santa Cruz do Arari (PA). Seu desembarque representa 6% do total no porto do Ver-o-Peso, em Belém (PA), o principal da Amazônia oriental. A pesca do tamoatá é marcadamente sazonal, ocorrendo na estação seca. De julho a agosto, é mais intensa no rio e lago Arari e de outubro a novembro, nos poços das fazendas, que são os últimos a secarem na região. A pesca é feita por pescadores locais, que vendem sua produção para as geleiras. Estas são embarcações de madeira, com urnas de gelo que levam a produção para ser comercializada nos principais portos urbanos, em especial o do Ver-o-Peso. A pesca é aqui descrita com base em observações de campo e entrevistas estruturadas com pescadores comerciais e fazendeiros da região. A frota de geleiras que desembarca o tamoatá em Belém é composta por 415 embarcações com capacidade de urna de até 27 t. As pescarias são realizadas, basicamente, por redes de emalhar de monofilamento e de cerco de multifilamento.

Hoplosternum Littorale

Fishes that live in the Amazonian environment may be exposed to several kinds of waters: "black waters", containing high dissolved organic carbon and acidic pH, "white waters", with ten fold higher Ca2+ concentrations than black waters and neutral pH, and "clear waters", with two fold higher Ca2+ concentrations than black waters and also neutral pH. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze Ca2+ fluxes in the facultative air-breather Hoplosternum littorale (tamoatá) exposed to different Amazonian waters. Fishes were acclimated in well water (similar to clear water) and later placed in individual chambers for Ca2+ fluxes measurements. After 4 h, water from the chambers was replaced by a different type of water. Transfer of tamoatás to ion-poor black or acidic black water resulted in net Ca2+ loss only in the first 2 h of experiment. However, transfer from black or acidic black water to white water led to only net Ca2+ influxes. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that transfer of tamoatás to ion-poor waters (black and acidic black water) led to transient net Ca2+ loss, while the amount of Ca2+ in the ion-rich white water seems adequate to prevent Ca2+ loss after transfer. Therefore, transfer of tamoatás between these Amazonian waters does not seem to result in serious Ca2+ disturbance.

Hoplosternum Littorale

Plastic is a useful material; but along with its benefits also come several disadvantages. One of these is the consequences of the improper discarding of plastic in the environment and its eventual fragmentation into microplastics. Plastic can reach rivers and affect their biota as microparticles from its degradation. The entry of plastic into the food chain occurs by the consumption of fish or other organisms. Furthermore, persistent organic pollutants can accumulate, and the consumption of materials containing plastic pollutants can cause several physiological problems in animals. Such pollutants can reach man when water or fish is consumed. There are numerous studies in the marine environment that show that microplastics significantly interfere with marine biota; but there are relatively few studies addressing this topic in freshwater environments. This work characterized the diet of the most abundant fish species in an urban river of the Upper Paraná Brazil Watershed, investigating the occurrence of microplastic. As much as the studied river suffers from urban river syndrome, a wide variety of food consumed by fish was found. The stomach content of 220 individuals belonging to fourteen species was analyzed. In the stomach content analysis, 16 types of food items were found, most of them autochthonous. The species analyzed were grouped into four trophic categories, with iliophage as dominant one. The presence of microplastics was found in 2% of the studied individuals, two individuals of the species Rhamdia quelen, one specimen of Hoplosternum littorale and one specimen of Astyanax fasciatus.
