The environmental impacts studies for the species of fish were considered incomplete, inconsistent and not valid by researchers from the Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Thus, with the purpose of verifying which species of fish occur in stretches of Tibagi river and an affluent threatened by the project, Barra Grande river, a list of species that appear on the reports (EIA/RIMA) with species collected in this study and in literature, were compared. In the EIA/RIMA reports 125 fish species were registered. This study added 26 species than those recorded in the EIA, totaling 151 species, for the Tibagi river basin. Among those who did not appear in the EIA, five were collected in stretches of Tibagi river and two in Barra Grande river. The others are from current studies carried out in the middle and upper regions of Tibagi river. These results confirmed the errors presented in the EIA, emphasizing that several species can be new for science. Therefore, the studies presented in the by the CNEC S.A., and approved by Instituto Ambiental do Paran¨¢ (IAP), do not support propositions drawn to weaken the effects of the Mau¨¢ dam over the fish species that could be attained. A constru o da hidrel¨¦trica Mau¨¢ foi projetada no m¨¦dio rio Tibagi, Paran¨¢, local identificado pelo Minist¨¦rio do Meio Ambiente (MMA) como ¨¢rea priorit¨¢ria para a conserva o. Os estudos de impactos ambientais, para as esp¨¦cies de peixes, foram considerados incompletos, inconsistentes e inv¨¢lidos pelos pesquisadores da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Assim, com o objetivo de verificar quais esp¨¦cies de peixes ocorrem em trechos do rio Tibagi e em um afluente amea ado pelo projeto, o rio Barra Grande, comparou-se a lista de esp¨¦cies que constam nos relat¨®rios (EIA/RIMA) com esp¨¦cies coletadas neste estudo e com a literatura. Nos relat¨®rios EIA/RIMA foram registradas 125 esp¨¦cies de peixes. Este estudo acrescentou mais 26 esp¨¦cies, al¨¦m das registradas no EIA/RIMA, totalizando 151 esp¨¦cies, para a bacia do rio Tibagi. Dentre as que n o constavam no EIA, cinco foram coletadas em trechos do rio Tibagi e duas no rio Barra Grande. As demais s o provenientes de estudos atuais realizados na regi o m¨¦dia e alta do rio Tibagi. Estes resultados confirmaram as falhas apresentadas no EIA, destacando ainda, que v¨¢rias esp¨¦cies podem ser novas para a ci¨ºncia.
