Um programa de amostragens mensais de arrasto de fundo em sete estações de coleta na Baía de Sepetiba foi realizado entre julho de 1993 e junho de 1994 com o objetivo de descrever a estrutura da comunidade de peixes e suas variações espaciais e temporais. Noventa e sete espécies de peixes foram levantadas, compreendendo 70 gêneros e 38 famílias. As famílias Ariidae, Gerreidae, Sciaenidae, Carangidae e Sparidae, nesta ordem, foram as mais abundantes em número, contribuindo com 69,9% do total capturado, enquanto Ariidae, Sparidae, Gerreidae, Haemulidae e Sciaenidae somaram 67,9% do peso total. Genidens genidens, Gerres aprion, Cathorops spixii, Micropogonias furnieri e Chloroscombrus chrysurus, nesta ordem, foram as espécies mais abundantes, contribuindo cada uma com mais de 5% do número total de peixes capturados. O maior número de peixes foi associado às menores profundidades e transparências, enquanto a salinidade apresentou, na maior parte do tempo, valores estáveis em torno de 29%o. Maiores abundâncias de peixes ocorreram entre fins do verão e início do inverno. O número e peso dos peixes foram maiores na zona interna da Baía enquanto o número de espécies foi maior na zona externa, próxima ao limite com o mar. O elevado número de espécies de peixes sugere o importante papel da Baía de Sepetiba como área de criação e desenvolvimento para a comunidade de peixes.

Moenkhausia diamantina, new species, is described from tributaries of the rio Paraguaçu, BA, northeastern Brazil. This species is distinguished from all congeners by features of body color pattern, the presence of scales on the predorsal median line and the number of anal-fin rays.

This work was carried out from the assessment of the conservation status of the freshwater ichthyofauna from Bahia State. The inventory data and species distribution were obtained from the specialized scientific literature and representative ichthyological collections. A total of 281 native species was recorded in Bahia State, distributed in the Northeastern Mata Atlantica (NMA) and São Francisco (SFR) freshwater ecoregions. There was a larger number of species in the NMA (187 spp.), composed by several coastal basins, than in the SFR (134 spp.), composed by São Francisco river basin. Among the 30 families recorded, Characidae and Rivulidae were the most representative, with 53 and 48 species, respectively. The conservation status of 214 species was assessed and 33 of them (15%) were included in the IUCN threat categories. Of these, 11 species were classified as vulnerable (VU), 12 as endangered (EN), and 10 as critically endangered (CR). Most threatened species (n = 14) belongs to the family Rivulidae. The larger number of threatened species in the NMA: (n = 23) is mainly related to the high endemism of restricted-range species associated with the human occupation impacts along the coastal regions. In the SFR, most of threatened species are annual killifishes, which are locally disappearing due to increasing degradation of their temporary habitats.
