Abstract

The present work aimed to carry out the ichthyofaunistic and food survey and a brief study of the ethnoictiology to the fishes of the Almas river, in a stretch belonging to the municipality of Nova Glória, São Patrício Valley. Monthly surveys were carried out from february to august 2019 at eight points of the river using fishing nets. Twenty-eight individuals from 17 species corresponding to the orders Siluriformes were collected with 64.71% of the collected species, followed by the order Characiformes with 17.65% and species representing the orders Gymnotiformes, Perciformes and Myliobatiformes each order with 5.88% of the total. The food items that had the highest expressiveness in the stomach content analyzed consisted mainly of Monocotiledonea (89.5%). Thus, the species analyzed presented herbivore as a characteristic of eating habits. Interviews with local fishermen contributed to the ichthyofaunistic knowledge of local and scientific biodiversity.
