SUMMARY:

The intense fragmentation of rivers for energy production results in impacts on the genetic
diversity of the ichthyological fauna present in these places, especially the rheoliphic species.
The species P. lineatus has significant economic importance for fish farming and also plays a
relevant role in the trophic chain. The fragmentation of rivers for the construction of reservoirs
directly affects this species, as it interferes with its migratory process, which is fundamental for
gonadal maturation and, thus, being able to reproduce naturally. Genetic studies, using
molecular markers, such as microsatellites, are widely used for studies of diversity and genetic
structure of natural and captive populations for stocking. In this sense, the present project
proposes to develop new molecular markers of microsatellite DNA in Prochilodus lineatus and
to evaluate the structure of population genetic diversity in places under the influence of dam
implementation, in four dam regions of the upper Rio Grande basin - MG, being Funil,
Camargos and Itutinga. And finally, to analyze the genetic diversity of fish farming in Itutinga.
