| The seasonal variation of diversity, density and biomass of the main species of the bentho-demersal fauna present in the 'prawn-shrimp' fishing grounds in the coastal sector between Cabo Corrientes and Torreon del Monje, Mar del Plata (38 degree S-57 degree W), Argentina, was studied. The quali-quantitative information obtained allowed to know the fluctuations of the bentho-demersal components of the community. The study included the annual cycle between April 1998-April 1999. Monthly samples at different depths (4-10 m) and distance from the coast (500 and 1,000 m) were obtained in two stations using a bottom net. Sampling in each station lasted 15 minutes and covered 2,400 m super(2). Number of specimens and weight for each species were recorded.... |
