Abstract: Six sites located on the Caracu River and five sites located on the Água do Rancho River (small tributaries of the Paraná River, Brazil) were chosen for quantitative electrofishing sampling to examine patterns in fish assemblage structure using the dualism ordination technique developed by Romaniszyn. Canonical correspondence analysis was also used for verification of the data. A similar separation of sites from both streams by both methods confirmed the Romaniszyn method (RD) was useful for the study of ordination. The RD was also tested using Self-Organizing Maps (SOM), which are a variant of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods. Similarly, the SOM confirmed that sites belonging to the two investigated streams were distinct, but also unveiled a minor weakness of the RD resulting from its linear character. However, in spite of this weakness, we recommend the RD for assemblage analysis by scientists unfamiliar with canonical correspondence and ANN analyses.
