Recent range extensions of the invasive rapa whelk Rapana venosa, biological data of the population and possible ecological impacts on the food webs of the Rio de la Plata estuary are presented. A total of 41 rapa whelks and 21 egg capsules were collected between February 2004 and March 2006. Specimens were found all over the mixohaline waters of the estuary, with records off Montevideo, Samborombon Bay and off Punta Rasa. Specimens ranged between 28 and 120 mm shell length. Almost all R. venosa presented epibionts all over the shell, suggesting an exposed lifestyle. Egg-masses were attached to specimens of R. venosa, debris and plastic garbage. The spatial distribution of R. venosa within the estuary was coupled with the spatial distribution of Mactra... |

Flexopecten felipponei (Dall, 1922) is a non-commercial, seldom reported pectinid from the SW Atlantic Ocean. In this contribution we review its taxonomy, describe epifaunal species and their levels of encrustation, and discuss the composition of the macrobenthic assemblage where this scallop Iives. Eighteen epibiont taxa were observed to Iive on the valves of these scallops. The most frequent and abundant epibionts on F. felipponei were serpulids, barnacles, and oysters. Although both valves were encrusted, the left valves had higher percentages of coverage. The benthic community contained 69 invertebrate taxa that generally charaeterize other mid-shelf bottorns between 37°S and 39°S. Eight pea crabs of the species Tumidotheres maculatus (Say, 1818)were... |

The pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, one of the most successful invasive species worldwide, inhabits intertidal and shallow subtidal marine and mixohaline coastal waters. In Argentina the species colonized natural ecosystems of southern Buenos Aires and northern Patagonia. However, in the last years the presence of oysters in the coast of Punta Rasa, northern Buenos Aires, was reported. Therefore, with the aim of recognizing the identity of the species, an exploratory survey in the salt marshes close to San Clemente stream was carried out. Individuals were identified as C. gigas (shell height up to 37 mm, density up to ~390 ind. m-2). Oysters were found clumped in small reefs in muddy substrates mixed with shell debris, attached to the stems of Spartina... |

Zygochlamys patagonica is distributed in the Atlantic Ocean from 35 degree S to Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), and in the Pacific Ocean, up to 42 degree S, between 40 and 200 m depth. There are 9 beds in the Argentinian Sea. Scallops are suspensivore organisms, feeding on detritus and phytoplankton. The aims of this thesis are to make a quali-quantitative study of the diet of the Patagonian scallop, to detect seasonal changes in diet and to link these results with oceanographic conditions and with the growth pattern. Gut contents of 180 scallops were analyzed from samples (n=30) taken in June, August, October and November 1996, and February and March 1997. This procedure was tested statistically. Twelve species of diatoms and resting stages, five species of... |
