    The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of water pH on survival and Na+ and K+ body levels of fingerlings of Rhamdia quelen, a freshwater catfish. Survival was 100% at pH 4.00 to 9.0 throughout the experiment (96h), and death of all fingerlings was observed only at pH 3.75 or lower and at pH 10.50. There was a significant correlation between water pH and body Na+ levels (but not K+ levels) 72h after transfer. There was a clear reduction in Na+ levels when the transfer was to pH outside the 5.0 - 9.0 range, which is in agreement with the fact that fishes exposed to such pH’s present loss of ions by diffusion and/or a decrease in absorption. Growth experiments with this species probably would present best results within the 5.0 - 9.0 pH range, in which the decrease of body Na+ levels is reduced.<br>O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o efeito do pH da ĂĄgua na sobrevivĂȘncia e nĂ­veis corporais de Na+ e K+ de alevinos de Rhamdia quelen, um peixe de ĂĄgua doce. A sobrevivĂȘncia foi de 100% ao longo do experimento (96h) na faixa de pH de 4,0 a 9,0, e foi observado mortalidade total dos alevinos em pH abaixo de 3,75 (e inclusive) e em pH 10,5. Houve uma correlação significativa entre o pH da ĂĄgua e os nĂ­veis corporais de Na+ (mas nĂŁo de K+) 72h apĂłs a transferĂȘncia. Quando os alevinos foram transferidos para um pH fora da faixa de 5,0 - 9,0, houve uma nĂ­tida redução dos nĂ­veis corporais de Na+, concordando com o fato que peixes expostos a esses nĂ­veis de pH apresentam perda de Ă­ons por difusĂŁo e/ou uma redução na sua absorção. O crescimento dessa espĂ©cie, provavelmente, Ă© estimulado dentro da faixa de pH 5,0 - 9,0, na qual a diminuição dos nĂ­veis corporais de Na+ foi menor
