摘要：We report results of an ichthyological survey of the upper Rio Yuruá in southeastern Peru. Collections were made at
low water (July-August, 2008) near the headwaters of the Brazilian Rio Juruá. This is the first of four expeditions to the
Fitzcarrald Arch - an upland associated with the Miocene-Pliocene rise of the Peruvian Andes - with the goal of
comparing the ichthyofauna across the headwaters of the largest tributary basins in the western Amazon (Ucayali,
Juruá, Purús and Madeira). We recorded a total of 117 species in 28 families and 10 orders, with all species
accompanied by tissue samples preserved in 100% ethanol for subsequent DNA analysis, and high-resolution digital
images of voucher specimens with live color to facilitate accurate identification. From interviews with local fishers and
comparisons with other ichthyological surveys of the region we estimate the actual diversity of fishes in the upper Juruá
to exceed 200 species.
