Brazilian Reef Fish Project: www.brazilianreeffish.cjb.net INTRODUCTION The tropical fish fauna of the western Atlantic ranges from about 35 N to 28 S (Robins, 1971; Nunan, 1992; Floeter et al, 2001), and a considerable part of this region (4 N to 28 S) is included in Brazilian waters. Although the reef ichthyofauna of the western North Atlantic has been subject to substantial study, the reef fishes of the Brazilian coast and its oceanic islands have remained poorly known. A significant increase in sampling effort on Brazilian waters occurred only after the mid- 1990s, when the growing use of UBA by Brazilian ichthyologists led to the extension of the known geographical range of many species (e.g. Nunan, 1992; Guimarães, 1996a,b; Rangel, 1997; Moura et al., 1999), the description of new species (e.g. Sazima et al., 1997, 1998; Gasparini et al., 1999; Rocha, 1999a; Gasparini et al., 2001; Feitoza, 2002), the first representative collections from major reef areas (e.g. Nunan, 1992; Rocha et al., 1998; Rocha, 1999b; Feitoza, 1999; Gasparini & Floeter, 2000); and biogeographic analysis (e.g. Guimarães, 1999; Floeter & Gasparini, 2000; Floeter et al., 2001). METHODS This study was based on the tropical teleost species primarily associated with hard substrates in the continental shelf and oceanic islands down to 50m deep, here referred as reef fishes. The composition and species distribution of the reef ichthyofauna has been determined primarily through original field studies in several Brazilian reef sites by the authors and colleagues (see Table I), as well as by compilation of data from literature (e.g. Figueiredo & Menezes, 1978, 1980, 2000; Menezes & Figueiredo, 1980, 1985; Lubbock & Edwards, 1981; Nunan, 1992; Bölhke & Chaplin,
