Abstract: The Madeira River is the most extensive tributary of the Amazon River and has the largest diversity of fishes
in the world. On its right bank, the Madeira River receives the Jamari River, in which the first hydroelectric power
plant (HPP) in State of Rondônia, Samuel HPP, was built. Besides this, other dams were built in the Jamari River and
its tributaries, however, the available information in the scientific literature about the ichthyofaunistic diversity of this
basin is rare. This work aims to provide an ichthyofaunistic inventory in a region of the Jamari river basin, in the State
of Rondônia, where three small hydropower plants (SHPs) were implemented. The ichthyofauna was sampled in 16
expeditions between August 2015 and December 2018. Gill nets and seine nets were used with different meshes, as
well as longlines and cast nets at different times of the day. Additionally, 81 INPA lots of species from the Samuel
HPP area of influence were reanalyzed. Fish were identified according to the specialized literature, as well as in
consultations with experts of various taxonomic groups. Voucher specimens of the species were cataloged and deposited
in the ichthyological collection of the Núcleo de Pesquisas em Limnologia, Ictiologia e Aquicultura (Nupélia) of the
Universidade Estadual de Maringá. A total of 230 species were recorded, of which 22 were putative new species, 117
were added to the Jamari River basin and 28 to the Madeira River basin. The continuation of the studies in this section
of the Jamari river basin is fundamental for analysis of local impact due to the presence of dams. Moreover, the addition
of putative new species to the Madeira River basin indicates gaps in the knowledge of Neotropical ichthyofauna.
Keywords: Diversity, species list, Madeira River, Amazon basin, freshwater fish.

Lista das espécies de peixes da bacia do rio Jamari, em áreas sob influência de
reservatórios, Rondônia, Brasil

Resumo: O rio Madeira é o mais extenso afluente do rio Amazonas e possui a maior biodiversidade de peixes do mundo.
Em sua margem direita, o rio Madeira recebe o rio Jamari, no qual foi construída a primeira usina hidrelétrica (UHE)
do estado de Rondônia, a UHE Samuel. Além desta, outros barramentos foram construídos no rio Jamari e em seus
afluentes, contudo são raras as informações disponíveis na literatura científica sobre a diversidade ictiofaunística desta
bacia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi providenciar um inventário ictiofaunístico na região da bacia do rio Jamari, no estado
de Rondônia, onde foram implantadas três pequenas centrais hidrelétricas (PCHs). A ictiofauna foi amostrada em 16
expedições entre os meses de agosto de 2015 e dezembro de 2018. Foram utilizadas redes de espera e arrasto com malhas
de diversos tamanhos, além de espinhéis e tarrafas em diferentes períodos do dia. Adicionalmente, 81 lotes de espécies do
INPA da área de influência da UHE Samuel foram reanalisados. Os peixes foram identificados de acordo com a literatura
especializada, bem como em consultas com especialistas de diversos grupos taxonômicos. Exemplares testemunho das
espécies foram catalogados e depositados na coleção ictiológica do Núcleo de Pesquisas em Limnologia, Ictiologia e
Aquicultura da Universidade Estadual de Maringá. Foram registradas 230 espécies, destas, 22 são possíveis espécies
novas, 117 são acrescentadas à bacia do rio Jamari e 28 à bacia do rio Madeira. A continuação dos estudos neste trecho
da bacia do rio Jamari é fundamental para análises de impacto local devido à presença de barramentos. Além disso, a
adição de possíveis novas espécies à bacia do rio Madeira aponta lacunas no conhecimento da ictiofauna Neotropical.
