Ecology Summary - Cnesterodon pirai

Language:

Main Ref.	Aguilera, G., J.M. Mirande and M.d.I.M. Azpelicueta, 2009
Remarks	The stream where the new species lives is narrow (2 m wide on its widest section) and shallow, with falls about 80 cm depth, and moderately slow current. It is a tributary of the Cuña-Pirú stream (above Salto Encantado, a fall with 40 m depth); the creek only has 700 m from its headwaters to the confluence with Cuñá-Pirú. The rocky stream bed, covered by detritus over 50% of its surface, presents small pools and glides. Cnesterodon pirai was especially found forming schools of juveniles and adults in pools (Ref. 82179).
