: All sampling have been conducted as per the guidelines of the federal environmental authority (Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade — ICMBio) which provided the proper permit and consent (ICMBio permit #25678-1) before sampling activities. No approval of research ethics committees was required to accomplish the goals of this study because it was considered as a fishing activity by competent authorities. However, all animals involved were captured following strict practices causing instant death to avoid and minimize animal suffering.
