Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Remarks. Data from specimens collected in tributaries of the rio Paranaíba (upper rio Paraná basin in central Brazil) are not included since there is evidence that in recent years fishes from the rio Araguaia basin, where Charax leticiae occurs have been released into tributaries of rio Paranaíba (Zawadzki et al. 2008). No significant statistical differences in meristic and morphometric data were found through comparison of samples from the rios Tocantins / Araguaia and Paraguay basins.
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Charax leticiae 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, freshwater, 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 Charax leticiae.
