In this study we aimed to assess the environmental impact of ecotourism on the fish fauna of Sucuri River in Bonito by integrating ecological, behaviour and physiological criteria and using the fish species Crenicichla lepidota and Moenkhausia bonita as indicators. Two distinct sites were defined to collect data: (1) affected daily by ecotourism (Tourism) and (2) undisturbed (No Tourism). The \"stationary point count\" method was performed to assess variations in ecological parameters and \"ad libitum\" and focal animal methods were used to collect behaviour data. The cortisol response of M. bonita to a stress protocol was measured from holding-water. Results showed a significantly increase in species richness, density and diversity at the Tourism site. Nevertheless, behaviour patterns indicated a higher stress at the Tourism site for both species as well higher cortisol levels for M. bonita. In opposition to the ecological measures, the behaviour and physiological ones may be interpreted as an early sign of negative impact caused by ecotourism, prior to changes at community level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1679-62252014000100014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,30]],"date-time":"2014-04-30T18:50:04Z","timestamp":1398883804000},"page":"133-143","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Impact of ecotourism on the fish fauna of Bonito region (Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil): ecological, behavioural and physiological measures"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ana Carolina","family":"Lima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada,  Portugal; Universidade de Aveiro,  Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Assis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade do Algarve,  Portugal"}]},{"given":"Diogo","family":"Sayanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa,  Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Sabino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Anhanguera,  Brazil"}]},{"given":"Rui F.","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada,  Portugal; Instituto Gulbenkian de Ci\u00eancia,  Portugal"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2109.2001.00594.x","article-title":"Dynamics of appetite in three fish species (Gasterosteus aculeatus, Phoxinus phoxinus, and Carassius auratus gibelio) after feed deprivation","volume":"32","author":"Ali M.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Aquaculture Research"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8880","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0700232104","article-title":"Stress response during development predicts fitness in a wild, long lived vertebrate","volume":"104","author":"Blas J.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"634","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tree.2009.04.013","article-title":"Do baseline glucocorticoids predict fitness?","volume":"24","author":"Bonier F.","year":"2009","journal-title":"Trends in Ecology & Evolution"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1186\/1742-9994-4-21","article-title":"Cleaning organisms reduce the stress response of client reef fish","volume":"4","author":"Bshary R.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Frontiers in Zoology"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"325","article-title":"An assemblage of mailed catfishes (Loricariidae) in southeastern Brazil: distribution, activity, and feeding","volume":"6","author":"Buck S.
