Abstract:
Based on historical and museum records and recent extensive collecting we compiled a checklist of 77 fish species reported

notes on habitat, diet, reproduction, maximum size, local common names and distribution.
Key words: biodiversity, continental island, South America, West Indies, biogeography, freshwater
