  abstract = {1. {T}he {A}mazon basin hosts the {E}arth's highest diversity of freshwater fish. {F}ish species have adapted to the basin's size and seasonal dynamics by displaying a broad range of migratory behaviour, but they are under increasing threats; however, no study to date has assessed threats and conservation of {A}mazonian migratory fishes. 2. {H}ere, the available knowledge on the diversity of migratory behaviour in {A}mazonian fishes is synthesized, including the geographical scales at which they occur, their drivers and timing, and life stage at which they are performed. 3. {M}igratory fishes are integral components of {A}mazonian society. {T}hey contribute about 93% (range 77-99%) of the fisheries landings in the basin, amounting to -{US}$436 million annually. 4. {T}hese valuable fish populations are mainly threatened by growing trends of overexploitation, deforestation, climate change, and hydroelectric dam development. {M}ost {A}mazonian migratory fish have key ecological roles as apex predators, ecological engineers, or seed-dispersal species. {R}educing their population sizes could induce cascading effects with implications for ecosystem stability and associated services. 5. {C}onserving {A}mazonian migratory fishes requires a broad portfolio of research, management, and conservation actions, within an ecosystem-based management framework at the basin scale. {T}his would require trans-frontier coordination and recognition of the crucial importance of freshwater ecosystems and their connectivity. 6. {E}xisting areas where fishing is allowed could be coupled with a chain of freshwater protected areas. {M}anagement of commercial and subsistence species also needs fisheries activities to be monitored in the {A}mazonian cities and in the floodplain communities to allow assessments of the status of target species, and the identification of management units or stocks. {E}nsuring that existing and future fisheries management rules are effective implies the voluntary participation of fishers, which can be achieved by increasing the effectiveness and coverage of adaptive community-based management schemes.},
