Abstract

Pterygoplichthys ambrosettii (Holmberg, 1893) is indigenous to the middle/lower Paraná basin and has been intentionally introduced to several continents, including North America, Asia and Europe. In Brazil, the presence of allochthonous P. ambrosettii has been documented in the Upper portion of Paraná River, São Francisco River, and Doce River. This study aims to report the first documented occurrence of P. ambrosettii in the Mucuri river basin, located in the municipality of Mucuri, Bahia, Brazil.
