Changings in Cichlid Biotopes at the Rio Xingu
In this talk I‘ll show the possible impact of the Belo Monte dam to the inventory of cichlids at the Rio Xingu. Also I want to explain the actual situation in Altamira, about the Belo Monte dam, and the resulting problems. But I also present many biotopes and the cichlids that are living there…

The Rio Xingu is one of the most important tributaries of the amazon in Brazil. I‘ll present the situation in the low water season and compare it with the high water season, when most rapids are flooded. Especially I give information about the actual situation at the Belo Monte dam and what that means for the future! Furthermore I‘ll present the breeding facility from UFPA that is managed by Leandro Sousa.
