Ictiologos de la Argentina: Sara Beatriz Sverlij

This series will include all those people who, by means of their contributions, great and small, played a part in the consolidation of ichthyology in Argentina. The general plan of this work consists of individual factsheets containing a list of works by each author, along with reference bibliography and, whenever possible, personal pictures and additional material. The datasheets will be published primarily in chronological order, although this is subject to change by the availability of materials for successive editions. This work represents another approach for the recovery and revalorization of those who set the foundations of Argentine ichthyology while in diverse historical circumstances. I expect this to be the beginning of a major work that achieves the description of such a significant part of the history of natural sciences in Argentina.

Efectos de la eutrofizacion sobre la pesca en el lago Pellegrini.

Por los problemas ocasionados en el deterioro del lago, en la pesca comercial y deportiva, se planteó como objetivo el estudio de las características limnológicas del ambiente relacionando la situación actual con la de años anteriores y además con los aportes exógenos que recibe el ecosistema. Se realizaron monitoreos de calidad físico-química del agua, nutrientes y plancton del lago y su influencia sobre el recurso pesquero, relacionando las capturas reales con los altos rendimientos pesqueros teóricos determinados en base a parámetros químicos, biológicos y morfoedáficos. Los resultados comprueban una disminución de la productividad secundaria y la población de peces, entre otros problemas de eutrofización. Se estudian distintas posibilidades para revertir esta tendencia del lago y recuperar e impulsar la pesquería comercial y deportiva.
