Pareiorhaphis togoroi

Conservation status. Since 1999, the team of the UFJF has made extensive surveys in the region of the upper Rio das Mortes and Pareiorhaphis togoroi was recorded in only three localities with low abundance: at Rio das Mortes itself and two of its headwaters tributaries (Ribeirão Nossa Senhora das Dores and Córrego do Sapateiro). The human activity in the region comprises small farms of vegetables and dairies, and the potential threat to the species could be the siltation by improper handling of soil and pollution of watersheds by human and animal waste. The area of occupancy (AOO) of the species was estimated based on the three localities (see above) multiplied by grids of 4 km 2 totaling 12 km 2 (B 2). Human activities threaten the habitat welfare (biii) of the only three localities where the species occurs (biv); hence, Pareiorhaphis togoroi was categorized as an endangered species (EN) based in the following criteria B 2 b (iii, iv) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories and criteria (IUCN Standards and Petitions Subcommittee, 2017).
