During the summer of 1991, the composition and distribution of the fish assemblage of rocky shore of Arraial do Cabo (RJ), Brazil, was studied using the visual census by area method in five sampling stations. The stations were characterized by physiography and composition of benthic substrate to allow comparison regarding ichtyofauna. Results suggest that mainly physiographic variables affect ichtyofauna in the studied spots.
