Lago do Juá is a floodplain lake located near Santarém, in the state of Pará, Brazil, situated within the lower Amazon River basin. As a classic Amazonian várzea (floodplain) lake, it is hydrologically connected to the broader Amazon River system and experiences dramatic seasonal flood pulses that define nearly every aspect of its ecology and fishery. The lake serves as a critical nursery and dispersal habitat for larval and juvenile fish, particularly migratory Characiformes species, making it an ecologically significant water body within the archipelago landscape of the lower Amazon. Artisanal fishing has long been practiced here by local communities, and the lake's productivity is closely tied to the annual rise and fall of Amazon floodwaters.
