Benthic communities of the Río de la Plata estuary and their trophic link with Micropogonias furnieri, Paralonchurus brasiliensis, Menticirrhus americanus, Cynoscion guatucupa, Macrodon ancylodon and Umbrina canosai, six species of the Sciaenidae Family, were studied. Benthic composition was characterized using 122 sampling sites between 1999 and 2005. Multivariate and univariate statistical tools were used to analyze diversity, abundance and biomass patterns. A total of 370 taxa were found at the study area. Four areas were established using benthic composition: Inner Río de la Plata (RdP), middle RdP, outer RdP and Marine zone. Higher abundance (9,877 ind/m2) and biomass (1,456.8 g/m2) values were found at middle RdP. Nephtys fluviatilis, Heteromastus... |

There are different microbiological indexes to evaluate the trophic state of inland and coastal waters based on the direct relation between the concentration of organic matter and the heterotrophic bacteria. These indexes are valuable; however, as they were determined starting from data collected in tempered latitudes, if they are applied to tropical regions where heterotrophic bacteria concentrations are usually higher, the results can be underestimated. The objective of the present work is to elaborate a quantitative index to evaluate the trophic state from microbiological data collected in waters of the SW Cuban shelf. For this purpose, values of concentrations of heterotrophic (HB) and sulfate-reducing (SR) bacteria obtained in waters of SW Cuban shelf... |
