A total of 103 specimens of Hoplias intermedius (Günther, 1864) and 86 specimens of H. malabaricus (Bloch, 1794) from the upper São Francisco River, State of Minas Gerais were collected between April 2011 and August 2013, and their parasitic fauna were investigated. Four species of Digenea were found: metacercariae of Austrodiplostomum sp., and Ithyoclinostomum sp.; and adult specimens of Phyllodistomum spatula Odhner, 1902, and Pseudosellacotyla lutzi (Freitas, 1941) Yamaguti, 1954. The prevalence of the metacercariae was higher than that of the adult digeneans of erythrinids from the upper São Francisco River as a result of piscivorous feeding habits of these adult erythrinids. The presence of metacercariae and adult digeneans indicate that they act as intermediate and definitive hosts, respectively, in their biological cycles. Hoplias intermedius is a new host for the four species of Digenea, and the São Francisco River basin is a new location for the known geographical distributions of P. spatula and P. lutzi.

Para isso, a evapotranspiração da cultura foi determinada pelo balanço de energia com base no método da razão de Bowen (ETcBERB), enquanto a transpiração máxima (TR) foi estimada pelo modelo de Penman-Monteith modificado com base no índice de área foliar da cultura. Os dados micrometeorológicos foram monitorados durante um ciclo produtivo por meio de uma estação automática localizada no parreiral. A evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) também foi calculada ao longo do experimento, pelo método de Penman-Monteith parametrizado no boletim 56 da FAO. A ETo e a ETcBERB corresponderam ao valor total de 474,0 e 376,4 mm ciclo-1, com valor médio diário de 3,9 e 3,1 mm, respectivamente. A TR oscilou entre 3,5 e 0,9 mm d-1, com volume total durante o ciclo de 284,4 mm. A EUA, com base no total de água consumida e transpirada, foi de 1,17 kg m-3 e 1,55 kg m-3, respectivamente. O método do BERB e o modelo de Penman-Monteith modificado para plantas isoladas apresentaram resultados confiáveis para estimativa da EUA sob as condições climáticas da região do Submédio do Vale São Francisco. No entanto, torna-se necessário que novos estudos nesse sentido com a cultura da videira para produção de vinhos sejam realizados, principalmente nesta região Semiárida, onde a maioria das pesquisas voltadas para o manejo do vinhedo ainda estão em desenvolvimento. Palavras-chave: semiárido, evapotranspiração, razão de Bowen, transpiração máxima   PEREIRA, V.

B.WATER USE EFFICIENCY IN IRRIGATED "SYRAH'' GRAPE PLANTATION AT SÃO FRANCISCO RIVER VALLEY  2 ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the water use efficiency (WUE) in  irrigated ‘Syrah’ grapevine plantation at São Francisco River valley, on the basis of yields as a function of crop evapotranspiration and maximum transpiration. To this end, the crop evapotranspiration was determined by energy balance based on the Bowen ratio method (ETcBERB), while the maximum transpiration (TR) was estimated by the modified Penman-Monteith equation based on the crop leaf area index. The micrometeorological data within the vineyard canopy were monitored using an automatic micrometeorological station, during a productive cycle. The reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was also calculated during that period using the FAO parameterized Penman-Monteith equation. The reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and the crop evapotranspiration determined by BREB method (ETcBERB), during the crop cycle, were 474.0 and 376.4 mm cycle-1, respectively, with a daily average of 3.9 and 3.1 mm. The TR rate ranged between 3.5 and 0.9 mm d-1, with total volume during 284.4 mm cycle -1. The WUE, on the basis of the total water consumed and transpiration, was 1.17 kg m-3 and 1.55 kg m-3, respectively. The BERB method and the Penman-Monteith model modified to isolated plants showed reliable results to estimate the WUE under the climatic conditions of São Francisco River valley. However, new studies on grape culture for wine production are necessary, especially in this semiarid region, where most researches focused on the vineyard management are still in development. Keywords: Bowen ratio.

While conducting the National Program of Environmental Geochemistry and Medical Geology in the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia, the research team Geological Survey of Brazil – CPRM detected a large area with high levels of fluorine in the geochemical results of the soil, stream sediment and surface water. Fluorine levels were detected by an ion-selective electrode (stream sediment and soil samples) or by ion chromatography (water samples). In this low-density survey, the minimum, maximum and median fluorine grades found at the water samples were 0.005 mg/L, 7.56 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L. For the soil, the samples were 15 mg/L, 1720 mg/L and 152 mg/L, and for the stream sediment, the samples were 35 mg/L, 1076 mg/L and 262 mg/L. The region covers 25 municipalities where studies by researchers from Federal Universities of Minas Gerais and Bahia have detected a high incidence of dental fluorosis, especially where public supply is made via deep wells in the Fissure-Karst Aquifer of the Bambuí Group. Moreover, the study area is highly favorable to the mineral deposit of fluorite and secondary Pb-Zn. Because the area is much larger (99,000 km2) than the other known fluorite provinces of Brazil (Santa Catarina is 2,000 km2 and Vale do Ribeira is 5,000 km2), the designation of Geochemical Megaprovince of Fluorine in the Middle São Francisco River, Brazil, is suggested for this region.

AbstractGamidactylus piranhus sp. nov. (Copepoda, Vaigamidae) from the nasal fossae of “San Francisco piranha”, Pygocentrus piraya (Cuvier, 1819) and.White piranha. Serrasalmus brandtii (Lütken, 1875) is described. The new species is similar to the type species of the genus, Gamidactylus jaraquensis Thatcher et Boeger, 1984, but differs from it in the following respects: the cephalothorax is shorter, the free thoracic segments are usually longer, leg 5 is reduced to a simple seta and a spine on the second antennal segment is lacking. Gamidactylus bryconis Varella, 1995 and Gamidactylus hoplius Varella et Malta, 1996, do not closely resemble the new species because they are much larger and both present leg 5 reduced to a double seta.

The microhylid frog Stereocyclops incrassatus occurs in humid forests of the eastern coast of Brazil south of the São Francisco River, in the states of Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo and Bahia. The present work reports this species in three Atlantic Rainforest fragments located in states of Alagoas and Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, thus expanding the known distribution of Stereocyclops incrassatus ca. 1000 km northwards.

Megalancistrus barrae is a species endemic to the São Francisco River basin that has not previously been recorded from the Upper São Francisco basin.The present work increases the known distribution of the species by reporting new collections from two different regions in the Upper São Francisco basin: one in the Pará River and the other in the São Francisco River, downstream Três Marias dam, Minas Gerais state. In addition, this study compiles distributional data on Megalancistrus barrae from museums.
