This study tested whether some attributes of the diversity, communities and populations of surf-zone fish assemblages varied with different hydrodynamic and anthropogenic influences at four Guanabara Bay sandy beaches: Dentro (sheltered with limited human access), Fora (exposed with limited human access), Urca (sheltered with unlimited human access) and Vermelha (exposed with unlimited human access), between autumn 2011 and summer 2012. Twenty-nine species and 1613 individuals were recorded from 76 trawls. The 10 most abundant species accounted for 94.5% of the total number, but only four species (Diplodus argenteus, Harengula clupeola, Sardinella brasiliensis and Sphoeroides greeleyi) were recorded at all four beaches, revealing a high level of species substitution. Fish assemblages differed not only for diversity attributes, but also at community and population levels, with lower values of the Shannon-Wiener index, richness and total fish abundance and biomass at Vermelha beach, and higher densities of Trachinotus carolinus, Atherinella brasiliensis and S. greeleyi related to beaches with high anthropogenic influence. The findings reveal that fish assemblages of Dentro, Fora, Urca and Vermelha beaches differed not only in response to hydrodynamic influences, but also due to the effects of different degrees of human interference (i.e. presence of solid residues, population density and fishing impacts), emphasizing the importance of the sheltered and less anthropogenically affected beaches, as spawning, nursery and growth areas.
