Effect of tank colour on larval performance of the Amazon River prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-05-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hatchery-tank colours (white, yellow, red, blue, green and black) on the performance of larval culture of Macrobrachium amazonicum. The larvae were fed daily with newly ...

Life strategies of some long-distance migratory catfish in relation to hydroelectric dams in the Amazon Basin
(1991-12-01)
In this paper, we present evidence that the long-distance migratory catfish Brachyplatystoma filamentosum, B. flavicans, B. vaillantii, Goslinia platynema and Lithodoras dorsalis spawn in the headstreams of the Amazon river ...
River mixing in the Amazon as a driver of concentration‐discharge relationships
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2017-11)
Large hydrological systems aggregate compositionally different waters derived from a variety of pathways. In the case of continental‐scale rivers, such aggregation occurs noticeably at confluences between tributaries. Here ...
A new species of Moenkhausia (Characiformes, Characidae) from the Içá River, Amazon Basin, northern Brazil
(2016-01-01)
A new species of the genus Moenkhausia is described from the Içá River, Amazon Basin. Moenkhausia britskii sp. n. is most similar to M. grandisquamis and M. xinguensis. From these two species it is readily distinguished ...
The major floods in the Amazonas River and tributaries (Western Amazon Basin) during the 1970-2012 period: a focus on the 2012 flood
(American Meteorological Society, 2013-06)
In this work, the authors analyze the origin of the extreme floods in the Peruvian Amazonas River during the 1970-2012 period, focusing on the recent April 2012 flooding (55 400 m(³) s(⁻¹)). Several hydrological variables, ...
Numerical simulation of drainage reversal of the Amazon River during Andean orogeny
(European Geosciences UnionVienna, 2014)
The uplift of Central and Northern Andes occurred concomitantly with an important reorganization of the drainage
pattern in Northern South America. During the Early Miocene, the fluvial systems that flowed from the ...
