Etymology. The specific name honors our dear colleague and friend Volney Vono (1961 – 2011), who was the first ichthyologist to collect the new species and who brought it to the attention of the author. Common names. “ Piabanha ” (V. Vono, O. T. Oyakawa, pers. comm.).
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Brycon vonoi is officially designated as Not Evaluated. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to forest, grassland, ocean, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of diverse organic matter. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a its natural cycle activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Brycon vonoi.
