Petrere, M., Jr. (1985). [Migration of freshwater fishes in Latin America: Some comments]. FAO, Rome (Italy).

Numerous fish species of the inland waters of Latin America carry out migrations for feeding purposes, reproduction or as a means of escape from adverse environmental conditions. These migrations are studied by tagging or direct observation. Information is presented showing that the types of migrations observed differ. The importance of continuing investigations on fish migration is stressed, considering its relevance in fishery management, and environmental impact effects.
