The genus Cichla is a highly diverse group, with 16 species already described. Externally, some species are very similar and discriminating between them may be very difficult. Nevertheless, discrimination of fish stocks is essential for management purposes. Morphometric analyses of otoliths have been successfully used to distinguish species and fish stocks, especially in marine environments. This study evaluated whether sagittal otolith shape can be used to discriminate among the species Cichla temensis, C. monoculus, and C. orinocensis, as well as within populations of C. temensis in rivers of the Amazon. Shape indices and Fourier coefficients were used to describe the shape of the otoliths. Among the groups of species, the morphology of the sagittal otolith of C. temensis was totally distinct from the species C. monoculus and C. orinocensis. While among populations of C. temensis, individuals from the Negro and Jatapú Rivers were different, regardless of the methods used. These results confirm the ability to differentiate species and populations by using the morphology of otoliths. However, more research is needed to verify the role of genetic versus environmental and biotic effects, and thus be able to explain the discrimination observed in otoliths.

O presente estudo analisou a diní­¢mica de uma pescaria de pequena escala na Amazônia em associação com o ciclo hidrológico. Dados de desembarque pesqueiro foram coletados diariamente no perí­­odo de fevereiro/2007 a janeiro/2008 no Porto Panairzinha em Manacapuru, Amazonas í Brasil (3°18’33”S e 60°33’21”W). Os resultados mostraram que a frota atuante no Lago Grande é composta por canoas motorizadas e barcos de pesca, sendo o número de canoas superior ao de barcos. A média do pescado desembarcado foi de 274,15 ton.ano-1, ocorrendo menor produção nos perí­­odos de enchente/cheia e maior na vazante/seca. As principais espécies desembarcadas foram: Colossoma macropomum (tambaqui = 17,8%), Cichla monoculus (tucunaré = 15,5%), Prochilodus nigricans (curimatã = 12,2%), Astronotus ocellatus (acará-açu = 8,7%) e Osteoglossum bicirrhosum (aruanã = 8,4%), predominando a malhadeira (97%) nessas capturas. Foi observado que a sazonalidade do Rio Solimões influi diretamente nas pescarias e na disponibilidade do pescado. Nesse sentido, decisões envolvendo o manejo pesqueiro nessa região devem estabelecer medidas que assegurem a sustentabilidade da pesca local, considerando como essencial a relação entre o peixe, o ambiente e os aspectos socioeconômicos das pescarias de pequena escala.
