Brazil is known as a country with rich fauna, flora and mineral resources, with more than 4000 species of freshwater fishes, representing approximately 31% of the world freshwater fish species.

During the Sixth ISM, in South Africa, Brazil had being elected the next venue (ISM 7). This is the first time in American continent that will enable the participation of researchers and students of the whole continent.
