Abstract

A survey of the ichthyofauna of the lake Jaboti in the town of Apucarana PR Brazil is undertaken. Collections were done every two months, between April 2010 and March 2011, at five sampling sites. Further, 22,489 specimens, distributed into five orders, six families and seven species were harvested. Poecilia reticulata was the most abundant species, featuring morphological and physiological adaptations with more tolerance to anthropic environmental changes. The species may be considered a bio-indicator since lake Jaboti undergoes a progressive environmental degradation throughout its perimeter.
