We present biological information about the main species and we give strong evidence that the stock of piraiba (Brachyplatystoma filamentosum), the largest catfish in the Amazon Basin is probably over-exploited. In conclusion, we raise some hypotheses about the causes and prospects for the future.403-414engAmazonBrachyplatystoma filamentosumcatfish fisheriespiraibaArtigo10.1007/s11160-004-8362-7WOS:000231538400002Acesso restrito
