COORDINATION
Welcome to the Laboratory of Tropical Ichthyology (LIT), located on the Sinop Campus in
Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT)
LIT was conceived by Professor Lucélia Nobre Carvalho upon her arrival at UFMT Câmpus Sinop in 2008.
Since the beginning, research has focused on the ecology and biology of fish in freshwater habitats in the southern Amazon .
Our research is strongly field-oriented, with studies carried out in the Teles Pires, Xingu and Juruena River basins and, occasionally, in the headwaters of the Paraguay River in the Nobres region.
Our field research is mainly carried out in river ecosystems (streams and rivers) and adopts descriptive, comparative and experimental approaches.
We use field observations to generate hypotheses that are tested using field and laboratory experiments.
Research is strongly oriented towards advancing basic scientific understanding, for a better understanding of biodiversity conservation.
The research is developed by students and collaborators from various higher education institutions.
