Understanding fishing-induced extinctions in the Amazon (2015, background): “Males engaged in parental care are defenceless against fishers who use such habitats as daily transport routes (Castello, 2008b).”
Population density, growth and reproduction of arapaima in an Amazonian river‐floodplain (2010, background): “When water levels are rising, they build nests and reproduce along the margins of the forests (Castello 2008b), guarding their offspring for about three months in the flooded plains where there is much food and few predators.”
Lateral migration of fish between an oxbow lake and an Amazonian headwater river (2011, background): “Studies of lateral migrations in the Amazon are similarly few and confined to the central Amazon where flooding is of high amplitude and long duration (Fernandes 1997; Castello 2008; Sousa & Freitas 2008; Fernandes et al. 2009).”
Assessing CITES non-detriment findings procedures for Arapaima in Brazil (2010, background): “Arapaima are absent upstream of most rapids and waterfalls, and observations at Mamirauá revealed a strong preference for quiet or slow-moving waters (Castello 2008a).”
