Resumen
Descripción
Fish species that migrate within the
great rivers of South America support important local
fisheries but are little known outside their native range.
This book, written specially for the World Bank and the
International Development Research Centre, represents the
first collection of the work of local scientific experts on
these remarkable fish. The authors cover the Upper Parana,
Paraguay-Parana, Uruguay and São Francisco basins in Brazil,
as well as the Brazilian and Colombian Amazon. They discuss
not only the principal migratory species and their
fascinating relationship with the water cycle in the rivers
and wetlands, but also the fisheries they support, and their
often precarious conservation status.
