  1. ppt: parts per thousand. H. mala: Hoplias malabaricus; H. uni: Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus; T. stri: Trachelyopterus striatulus. Additional piscivore specimens were sampled with seine net in Cabiúnas (H. mala = 3; T. stri = 4; Oligosarcus hepsetus = 10); Bezerra (H. mala = 9); and Pitanga (H. mala = 1; H. uni: 15). Empty cells indicate zero.
