Abstract: Flood intensity was a main factor determining access to the riparian/floodplain ecotonal resources of the upper Parana River, Brazil, and in consequence determining yield of the dominant trophic groups, which are fish feeding on flooded grasslands and on riparian fruits and leaves. Prey and predator density both declined in years of low floods, and predators did not recover until the next year of high flood, more slowly than in the case prey fish, most probably due to differences in life cycle length. The life cycle of one of the most important species, Curimba (Prochilodus lineatus - Characidae) depends on access to the floodplain lagoons and return to the reservoir after maturation for intensive growth. The riparian/floodplain habitat complexity and connectivity has great significance for fish community dynamics and fisheries yield, and may serve a reason to create a national park in the last floodplain section of the upper Parana River.
