Fig. 3. A mixed column of larval eleotrid fish Eleotris pisonis and gerreid fish Eucinostomus melanopterus, associated with palaemonid shrimps Palaemon pandaliformis, moving upstream in the shallows of a coastal streamlet in Southeastern Brazil. The moving column is closely followed by larger larvae and juveniles of the predaceous centropomid fish Centropomus mexicanus in slightly deeper water. Some individuals marked in front of head to render them easier to spot (Cm= C. mexicanus, Em= E. melanopterus, Ep= E. pisonis); shrimps not visible against the background.
