An updated list of the ichthyofauna of Ipanema National Forest, São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract

The Ipanema National Forest has been thoroughly studied in the last 25 years, and 50 species of fish species (47 native and three invasive) were reported in 2013. Intensive inventory work carried out by us between 2012 and 2017 found 39 additional species distributed in five orders and 13 families. Our study provides new data which may help efforts to preserve the Ipanema National Forest.
