Methods

The tide pools selected for the present study are located on the eastern coast of Pará State, Brazil, on the Tablado Beach, Maiandeua Island. The Tablado Beach is a sandy beach with rocky outcrops displaying tidepools. Four campaigns were conducted for the fish collection: two during the wet season, one in March of 2008 and another in February of 2011; two during the dry season, one in September of 2008 and another in September of 2011. Eight tidepools were sampled in 2008 and 18 were sampled in 2011. The mean sizes of tidepools were 9.15 m² in the dry season and 18.99 m² in the wet season. Fish specimens were collected during sweeps of the tide pools with hand nets and sieves with a 5 mm mesh. No fixed time limit was stipulated, but each pool was swept until no further specimens were collected for a period of at least 10 minutes. All the specimens collected were fixed in 10% formalin and after three days, conserved in 70% ethanol. All the specimens were identified in the laboratory and subsequently deposited in the ichthyological collection of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG) in Belém, northern Brazil.
