Introducción de peces exóticos en la República Argentina

A review and analysis of the exotic fish distribution and introduction is made using bibliographic information. Both lentic and lotic environments were considered. In order to classify the state of the populations, different categories were defined as follow: permanent, probably permanent, reported and unknown. Results show that 15 species were attempted to be introduced from 1904. Only 8 of them arose an successfull aclimatization: raimbow trout, brown trout, lake trout, landlocked salmon, carp, goldfish, and mosquitofish. For the salmonids, ecological features were analized, in order to explain the disappearence or the permanence in some regions. (Document contains 90 pages)

Mapas batimétricos y parámetros morfométricos de lagos patagónicos de Neuquén, de Río Negro y del Chubut (Argentina)

A limnological and fish survey program was developed on 112 lakes and reservoirs of Argentina during the summers of 1984 to 1987. Bathymetric surveys with a SIMRAD Skipper 411 model echosounder and line and lead were conducted on more than 40 lakes. This report presents bathymetric maps for seventeen lakes and reservoirs situated in Patagonian Andes Region and Patagonian Plateau betweem 38°53'S and 45°30'S. The bathymetric maps for two reservoirs were made from topographic maps before impoundment. Hypsographic and depth-area curves, and some morphometric parameters are presented for twenty one Patagonian lakes. Mean depth ranged from 2.0 to 111 m. The deepest lakes are situated in Patagonian Andes Region. Colhue Huapi Lake on Patagonian Plateau, is very shallow, having a mean depth of 2.0 m and being 810 km. in surface area.

Bibliografía de los peces de agua dulce de Argentina. Suplemento 1993.

La presente lista constituye un nuevo aporte a la información de los peces de agua dulce de la Argentina (López et al., 1981, 1982, 1986 y 1989). Por razones de economía de espacio, hemos variado el esquema seguido en las anteriores, no mencionamos los resúmenes de las diferentes reuniones, ni las especies citadas en el texto de los trabajos incluidos. Por otra parte, no consideramos las contribuciones de nuestros colegas uruguayos (con excepción de aquellas referidas a cuerpos de agua compartidos), ya que temimos caer en olvidos involuntarios que, con el tiempo, se transformen en situaciones enojosas.

Bibliografía sobre “Aspectos históricos, sociales, económicos, legales de la Pesca Argentina���

La siguiente bibliografía se realiza a modo de cumplimentar el trabajo final de la cátedra Bibliografía y Selección de Textos. El siguiente repertorio bibliográfico tiene como fin facilitar el acceso y localización del material sobre aspectos históricos, económicos, legales y sociales de la Pesca en la Argentina. Dicho trabajo fue elaborado para satisfacer las necesidades de la Biblioteca de INIDEP, ya que es de su interés la recopilación de todo el material dentro de una misma bibliografía. El objetivo de esta compilación es satisfacer la creciente demanda de los usuarios de dicha biblioteca, dentro del grupo de usuarios encontramos: científicos, biólogos, oceanógrafos, veterinarios, empresarios, pesqueros, alumnos de diferentes carreras, como Biología, Geografía, Economía; incluyendo además, alumnos del tercer ciclo de EGB.

Niveles de nutrientes y pigmentos fotosintéticos en el Río de la Plata interior (55°-59°W 34°-36°S)

The "Río de la Plata" River is one of the less studied systems of the basin with respect to its biological and ecological aspects. Twenty four and twenty seven surface stations were sample on September 22-23 and November 22-23, 1982, respectively. The section studied is part of the zone called inner "Río de la Plata" River. The discharge was 29.000 m3/s in September and 45.200 m3/s in November. Total phosphorus (PT), total organic nitrogen (NOT), chemical oxygen demad (COT) and total cholrophyll were measured. Dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity (TURB), pH and electrical conductivity (K20) were also measured at the surface with a HORIBA U7 sensor on November 1982. PT was 72-208 mg/m3 and 66-205 mg/m3 in September and November repectively; the higher values were near the Argentinian coast and the outer zone. NOT was 33-106 µM and 49-117 µM and CHL was 1.4-5.8 mg/m3 and 1.3-9.4 mg/m3. TURB was between 44 and 240 NTU in November; the maximun value were obseved in the central zone. Steep K20 gradients were found near both coast. The reduced organic carbon load into the lower and external part of the "Río de la Plata" River was estimated. (Document contains 40 pages.)

Esclusas de peces en la represa de Salto Grande. Consideraciones acerca de su funcionamiento

Fishlocks at Salto Grande Reservoir. Considerations about its functioning. The Salto Grande dam, has in its structure two Borland type fishlocks. The fish passage efficiency is low, and it is limited by the original system design, the management of the dam and the Uruguay river hidrology. Thus, in the 1984-1986 period, on annual average, the fishlocks were out of service 53 o/o of the time, while in the two periods when higher observed fish accumulation occur, march-april and september-october, the passages were closed 72 o/o and 54 o/o of the time, respectively.

Edad de la trucha arco iris (Salmo gairdneri) de la laguna Zeta (Prov.de Chubut)

Age of a population of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) from a pond in Patagonia was studied by means of scale readings. The population was sampled three times, on December 1984, March 1985 and March 1986. Length at age was back-calculated from growth marks on scales, using the Fraser-Lee equation. By the analysis of length distributions and numbers of marks on scales from each sample, it was concluded that this population was formed by a single cohort, born in spring 1982 and stocked shortly after. Stocking rate is unknown. Significant differences (P0.05) were found between back-calculations of length at age 1 from samples of December 1984 and March 1986. These differences were probably due to length-scale radius relation. Evidences from scales suggested that a single mark is formed each year, during early-mid spring. On the other hand, according to availabe data from the literature for the same species, this population has presented one of the highest growth rates. (pdf contains 15 pages)

Bibliografía de los pejerreyes argentinos de agua dulce.

Esta bibliografía es una prueba del interés que el pejerrey ha generado en la ciencia y en la cultura. En esta publicación se compiló medio millar de citas entre las que se incluyen todos los trabajos, tesis e informes técnicos realizados en nuestro país, y algunos de aquellos países donde los pejerreyes fueron introducidos. En la mayoría de los casos se señalan las especies mencionadas en cada obra, salvo cuando estas figuran directamente en el título.

Los fenómenos de marea roja y toxicidad de moluscos bivalvos en el Mar Argentino

Two unusual blooms of dinoflagellates appeared in the Argentine Continental Shelf in spring/summer period of 1980 and 1981, but these differed, one from the other. The first was an intense red-tide with which were associated no signs of toxicity, whereas the second, although; not showing special coloration, was associated with (and doubtless the cause of) intense toxicity in bivalves of the Gulfs of San Matías and San José and of the shelf waters off Península Valdés; the death of two fishermen was atributed to the latter. The first bloom developed as an unusual surface concentration of the predatory dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans. It was supposed that this concentration was produced by a particular combination of processes of circulation of water masses. The second bloom was characterizaed by high concentrations of Gonyalax excavata. Investigations at the time determined that toxins in molluscs of the area correasponded to what is called "paralytic shellfish poison". The bloom of G. excavata was associated with a front between well mixed and well stratified water masses. The maximum toxicity centre occured in the mussel bank "Constanza" (42°23'27"S and 62°45'66"W) which coincides with the front referred to above. (PDF contains 93 pages)
