Abstract
    Observations have been performed from September 1993 of February 1997, on the abundance, biometry, diet, reproduction and behaviour of the population of Isopisthus parvipinnis from the mangrove of Guaratuba Bay, Brazil. During spring and summer, individuals sporadically transit to the most opened areas of the Bay and feed on fish and crustaceans. During this period the species reproduces, and spawning occurs either in this mangrove or in the open sea. During autumn and winter, an important part of the population of I. parvipinnis enters into channels and pools and its diet changes to become entirely based on fish. This is associated with the general increase of fish abundance at that time in the mangrove. Growth is allometric and relations between mass (M) and length (L) are: M=1,5922.10 super(-7)L super(3,819) (males), M=5,2844.10 super(-8)L super(4,01) (females) et M=1,2331.10 super(-7)L super(3,852) (both sexes). The strategy of occupation of the mangrove ecosystem and the ichtyophage behaviour characterize I. parvipinnis as an opportunist predator species playing, with respect to the mangrove, a part in energy export towards others areas of the Bay and the marine adjacent region.
