Semiarid areas are characterized by extremes of flood and drought. The flood is one of the best predictors of fish reproduction, however semiarid areas such as the Caatinga Biome, Brazil, are affected by prolonged drought (9 months), during which the fish are confined on ponds and reservoirs after the intermittent river drying. The aims of this work were evaluate the role of environmental variables, such as rain and subsequent flood, on fish reproduction, by analyzing the density of eggs and larvae in an intermittent river and a reservoir of Caatinga; and identify the spawning and nursery areas, accessing the role of macrophytes for ichthyoplankton distribution. Two years of samples were made, in eight sample locations: one in the intermittent river, one in the reservoir inlet, two in the middle and two in the reservoir dam, all open areas; and two in macrophyte beds. Our results show that the rain is the main triggering factor of the reproduction for the large amount of fish species in Caatinga, but some opportunistic species have a continuous reproduction. The macrophyte beds have a strong role as shelter for ichthyoplankton since that harbored the highest densities of eggs and larvae. These results provide important information for fish conservation in semiarid areas once anthropogenic impacts such as eutrophication and river transposition can reduce the macrophyte occurrence, which would affect the diversity and the production of important fish species of the region.
