The aims of this study were to expand the water 87Sr/86Sr baseline of the La Plata Basin, and to study the migratory patterns of S. brasiliensis from Paran ' a dam-free stretch and a representative tributary semi-fragmented using otolith isotopic chemistry. Water samples were collected at 10 sites on the upper Paran ' a River and two sites on the middle and lower Carcaraña Basin (tributary of the lower Paran ' a River). Fourteen fish were caught in the upper Paran ' a River and 13 in two sites of the middle and lower Carcaran similar to ' a Basin. 87Sr/86Sr was measured in water and otolith core-to-edge transect by MC-ICPMS and LA-MC-ICPMS, respectively. Water results were incorporated into a dataset with 53 other sampling points from the La Plata Basin and subjected to a cluster analysis, which resulted in nine differentiable chemical signatures. Discriminant analysis confirmed the presence of at least eight contrasting isotopic signals. Based on the otolith core 87Sr/86Sr, four individuals from the upper Paran ' a River were classified as originating from Paraguay sub-basin, while the rest were assigned to Paran ' a River. All fish from the Carcaran similar to a ' sub-basin were classified as originating from the Paran ' a River, except two individuals which were assigned to the Carcaran similar to ' a sub-basin. Results indicated that the fish run up the Carcaran similar to ' a sub-basin overcoming up to three open spillways, and could live there for years and even reproduce. However, the Paran ' a River had the largest contribution to the fish caught in both the upper Paran ' a River and the Carcaran similar to ' a sub-basin. %$ 040 ; 034
