having just read the readers comments, weho evidently had information about thjis incident unavaialbe to me, I would like to add to my previous comment. The occurrance in a reservoir in SE Brasil greatly loimits the kindfs of fishes involved. I have no reason to doubt the miost important or sole involvement of the piranha species Serrasalmus spilopleura, as mentioned by Haddad and Sazima. I am currently investigating plucking of entire eyeballs of Prochilodus evidently by piranha. It weould not surprise me to learn that piranha neatly remove human eyeballs as seemingly documented by the photos of the Petrobras worker. Tyson Roberts
