SUMMARY:

The Brazilian Amazon is privileged to have the largest freshwater basin in the world with a
diversity of fish species. The state of Amapá has five sectors for fishing activities in the region:
the maritime plain on the north coast, the urban and port area located in Macapá and Santana,
the upper estuary region that begins at the mouth of the Matapi River up to the border with the
state of Pará and the lakes region where the municipality of Pracuúba is located. The Tucunaré
(Cichla sp) is a commercially important Amazonian fish, and the Cichla monoculus is a species
with a wide geographical distribution that is widely consumed by the riverside population. Fish
are vulnerable to different parasites, including myxosporids and coccids from the Apicomplexa
phylum. The aim of this study was to investigate eukaryotic microparasites of the class Mixozoa
and phylum Apicomplexa in Cichla monoculus from the municipality of Pracuúba-Amapá,
Brazil. In preliminary results, the Tucunarés (Cichla) of the species analyzed have shown
parasitism and the results of other analyses could lead to the description of new species and a
systematic understanding of their taxonomic and phylogenetic aspects.
