Resumo
Although fishermen from the lagoon region of Cananéia (25º lat. s) knew for long the existence of Megalops atlanticus Val. (Camarupim) in that region no record has ever been confirmed the occurrence. In October 1958 the author obtained two specimens captured with a net used for Cynoscion acoupa Lacépèpe (Pescada amarela). The specimens were measured, the gonads observed and the presence of parasites was examined. The analyses of the stomach contents revealed the presence of 37 catfishes, fam. Arridae, a flat-fish and several unidentified small fish. The author supposes that the specimens captured belonged to a small shoal and entered the lagoon region after a long migration.
