Abstract
Tiete river is under great stress along its course and reservoir building is a major factor which alters the community's fish structure. Those alterations reflect in the abundance and richness, in the fish diet, reproduction and in the movement of migratory species. Fishing is one of the more important human activities, providing in food, trade, income and leisure to people, especially the ones that resides at the margins of rivers and reservoirs.
