Abstract

This study was conducted in a preservation area of the Unidade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia da Universidade Federal do Tocantins, Araguaína, TO, between May 2017 and January 2018, with monthly collection excursions. The objective was to inventory the ichthyofaunistic community of two streams: Corrégo da Vaca and Córrego da Água Amarela, the Lontra River tributaries, belonging to the Araguaia-Tocantins system, as well as to identify endemic species and new records. We collected 154 individuals belonging to five orders (Characiformes, Siluriformes, Gymnotiformes, Cichliformes, Cyprinodontiformes), distributed in 12 families and 30 species.
