Ictioplâncton do litoral do Paraná/Brasil - uma revisão

Abstract

In this literature review we have focused on the current knowledge of ichthyoplankton in Paraná State (SE Brazil). Most of the works carried out in offshore environments corcern the species Sardinella brasilienses with emphasis on its biological and ecological aspects. Most of the papers concerning the estuarine environments deals with eggs and larvae distribution, with identifications kept to family level. Attempts to integrate ichthyoplankton data with the current knowledge of the taxonom, biology and ecology of adults were unsatisfactory and few. With the possible exception of Sardinella brasilienses present information concern regional ichthyoplankton is not adequate for the estabilishment of safe strategies concern resource management.
