Anablepsoides Peruanus
''Anablepsoides'' is a genus of killifish in the family Rivulidae native to tropical South America and the Lesser Antilles. The majority are from the Amazon and Orinoco basins, as well as freshwater systems in the Guiana Shield, but a few species are from northern Venezuela, northeastern Brazil (Tocantins River basin, as well as systems in Ceará and Maranhão) and the Lesser Antilles (Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Martinique and Margarita).Andrews, O. (2015). . The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology. Retrieved 5 November 2018. Although largely restricted to lowlands, a few species occur in the lower East Andean foothills. They are mostly found in shallow fresh water swamps, streams, edges of rivers, ponds and pools, but a few may occur in brackish estuaries. They are able to jump over land and breathe air for short periods, allowing them to access isolated waters inhabited by few or no other fish. Several ''Anablepsoides'' species have small distributions a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Margarita Island
Margarita Island (, ) is the largest island in the States of Venezuela, Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta, situated off the north west coast of the country, in the Caribbean Sea. The capital city of Nueva Esparta, La Asunción, is located on the island. History Age of Exploration Christopher Columbus was the first European to arrive on Margarita Island in 1498. The local natives were the Guaiqueries people. The coast of the island was abundant in pearls, which represented almost a third of all New World tribute to the Spanish Crown. Margarita Island was fortified against the increasing threat of pirate attacks, and some fortifications remain today. It was the center of Spanish colonial Margarita Province, established in 1525. In 1561, the island was seized by Lope de Aguirre, a notoriously violent and rebellious conquistador who killed the governor Juan Villadrando. Around 1675, the island was captured again, this time by Red Legs Greaves, a pirate known for his humanity and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rivulus
''Rivulus'' is a genus of small freshwater fish in the Cyprinodontiformes family Rivulidae. It was traditionally considered to be the largest genus in its family; however, the genus's size is currently in dispute. Wilson J. E. Costa split this genus into several new genera (including '' Anablepsoides, Atlantirivulus, Cynodonichthys'', '' Kryptolebias'', '' Laimosemion'' and '' Melanorivulus'') in 2004 and 2011, leaving only a few Greater Antillean species in ''Rivulus'' itself. Despite being moved to other genera, some of the species retain the common name "rivulus", like the well-known mangrove rivulus (''Kryptolebias marmoratus''). Shortly after the review by Costa, another review authored by J.H. Huber refuted the split, moving the proposed genera back in ''Rivulus'' and again making the genus the largest in the family Aplocheilidae.Huber, J.H., 2012.

Total Length
Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fishery biology. Overall length Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the last vertebra or to the posterior end of the midlateral portion of the hypural plate. This measurement excludes the length of the caudal (tail) fin. Total length (TL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the longer lobe of the caudal fin, usually measured with the lobes compressed along the midline. It is a straight-line measure, not measured over the curve of the body. Standard length measurements are used with Teleostei (most bony fish), while total length measurements are used with Myxini (hagfish), Petromyzontiformes ( lampreys) and usually Elasmobranchii (shark Sharks are a group of elasmobranch cartilaginous fish characterized by a ...

Melanorivulus
''Melanorivulus'' is a genus of South American freshwater fish in the family Rivulidae. Most species are endemic to the Río de la Plata, eastern Amazon (west to Tapajós basin), Tocantins– Araguaia and São Francisco basins in Brazil, but a few members of this genus range west into Bolivia, south into Paraguay and Argentina, and east to Parnaíba and Sergipe in northeastern Brazil. Only ''M. schuncki'' occurs north of the Amazon River. They inhabit shallow waters, generally deep, at the margins of streams in open or fairly open habitats like the Cerrado or Cerrado–Amazon transition. Many have tiny ranges and are seriously threatened. Similar to closely related genera such as '' Anablepsoides'', '' Atlantirivulus'', '' Cynodonichthys'' and '' Laimosemion'', ''Melanorivulus'' are jumpers and non-annual killifish. ''Melanorivulus'' are small fish, with the largest species up in total length and the smallest less than . They are often quite colorful and some are kept in ...

Laimosemion
''Laimosemion'' is a genus of fish in the family Rivulidae from the Amazon basin and basins in the Guiana Shield in tropical South America. They mostly inhabit small streams, creeks, swamps and pools in lowlands, but locally occur to an altitude of .Vermeulen, F.B.M., Suijker, W.H. & Collier, G.E. (2012): ''Laimosemion paryagi'' (Cyprinodontiformes: Aplocheiloidei: Rivulidae), a new species from the upper Mazaruni river drainage of Western Guyana. ''aqua, International Journal of Ichthyology, 18 (4): 181-190.'' Like their relatives, the adult ''Laimosemion'' often inhabit very small isolated waters, but they are not annual species like some other killifish. The adults can move some distance over land to find another water source. They do this by repeatedly flipping their body. They commonly complete their life cycle in the water, often laying their eggs among plant material. However, their eggs can survive several days of drought, only hatching when again covered by water.

Cynodonichthys
''Cynodonichthys'' is a genus of freshwater killifish in the family Rivulidae. They are found in Middle America, ranging from southern Mexico (north to Oaxaca and the Yucatán Peninsula), through Central America (where most species live), to Colombia (in the northwest and the Magdalena River basin).Vermeulen, F.B.M. (2013): Four new species of ''Rivulus'' Poey, 1860, subgenus ''Cynodonichthys'' Meek, 1904 (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) from the Magdalena River Basin, Central Colombia, including notes on ''Rivulus (Cynodonichthys) elegans'' Steindachner, 1880.

Atlantirivulus
''Atlantirivulus'' is a genus of fishes in the family Rivulidae. They are endemic to shallow swamps, creeks, streams and pools in the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil, ranging from Rio de Janeiro to Santa Catarina. Several of the species are highly threatened, while others survive in well-protected reserves. ''A. janeiroensis'' was initially feared extinct, but has since been rediscovered in two reserves. Similar to closely related genera such as '' Anablepsoides'', ''Cynodonichthys'', ''Laimosemion'' and ''Melanorivulus'', ''Atlantirivulus'' are non-annual killifish. They are small fish, no more than in total length. Compared to many species in the family, the colors of ''Atlantirivulus'' are relatively dull. Species Until 2011, ''Atlantirivulus'' were included in ''Rivulus'', and some prefer to maintain them in that genus. If recognized as a valid genus, there are currently 16 species in ''Atlantirivulus'': * '' Atlantirivulus depressus'' W. J. E. M. Costa, 1991 * ...

Belo Monte Dam
The Belo Monte Dam (''formerly known as'' Kararaô) is a hydroelectric dam complex on the northern part of the Xingu River in the state of Pará, Brazil. After its completion, with the installation of its 18th turbine, in November 2019, the installed capacity of the dam complex is 11,233 megawatts (MW), which makes it the second largest hydroelectric dam complex in Brazil and the fifth largest in the world by installed capacity, behind the Three Gorges Dam, Baihetan Dam and the Xiluodu Dam in China and the Brazilian-Paraguayan Itaipu Dam. Considering the oscillations of river flow, guaranteed minimum capacity generation from the Belo Monte Dam would measure 4,571 MW, 39% of its maximum capacity. Brazil's rapid economic growth over the last decade has provoked a huge demand for new and stable sources of energy, especially to supply its growing industries. In Brazil, hydroelectric power plants produce over 66% of the electrical energy. The Government has decided to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
