Este trabalho apresenta uma experiencia pedagogica e, tambem, uma pesquisa realizada com estudantes em uma saida de campo utilizando-se aspectos da bacia hidrografica como tema gerador e continuada, em termos reflexivos, na sala de aula. A dimensao epistemologica adotada na atividade pratica foi pautada na concepcao freireana, por meio do dialogo e da problematizacao critico-reflexiva dos problemas socioambientais vivenciados pelos estudantes. Por meio da analise quali e quantitativa da dinâmica de grupo focal, questionario e registros em campo, identificou-se, em um primeiro momento, uma visao predominantemente individualista e antropocentrica da natureza. Constatou-se que ao longo das atividades didatico-pedagogicas, no campo e em sala de aula, a discussao se ampliou de maneira critico-reflexiva e os relatos foram ao encontro da construcao do conhecimento. O corpo discente tambem destacou a importância dos espacos nao formais nesse processo. Practical environmental education activity in the non-formal space: aspects of the hydrographic basinas a generator theme This work presents a pedagogical experience and, also, a research done with students on a field trip using aspects of the hydrographic basin as a generator theme and continued, in reflective terms, in the classroom. The epistemological dimension adopted in the practical activity was ruled on the Freirean conception, through dialogue and critical-reflective problematization of the socio-environmental problems experienced by the students. Through the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the focus group dynamics, field questionnaire and records, identified himself at first, a predominantly individualistic and anthropocentric view of nature. It was found that throughout the didactic-pedagogical activities, in the field and in the classroom, the discussion expanded in a critical-reflective way and the reports met the construction of knowledge. The student body also highlighted the importance of non-formal spaces in this process. Keywords: Environmental education. Teaching. Interdisciplinarity. Critical-reflective.

The first records of 2 species of Parodontidae (Apareiodon piracicabae and A. itapicuruensis) are reported in theParaíba do Sul river basin. In total, 101 individuals of A. piracicabae and 3 individuals of A. itapicuruensis werecollected in the Paraíba do Sul middle reaches. A description and diagnosis of both species based on morpho-meristiccharacters were provided. These fishes have been used as forage for larger fish species as well as bait for sport fishing,which may have facilitated their introduction in the Paraíba do Sul River from fish culture farms in the region.
