The Dorado-Iconografía

Prosiguiendo con la tarea de rescate de documentos realizada por ProBiota, tomamos la iniciativa de editar en este número la iconografía de la obra The dorado de J. W. Hills y G. H. Harrison ya que a nuestro entender posee un indiscutible valor histórico además de ilustrativo.

Desenvolvimento de metodologias para a determinação da atividade biogênica de bactérias redutoras de sulfato

A corrosão causada por H2S biogênico frequentemente resulta em danos extensos na indústria do petróleo. O presente trabalho avaliou parâmetros de crescimento microbiano e aplicou metodologias de determinação de sulfetos por técnicas espectrofotométrica na região da luz visível e radiorespirométrica para avaliação da atividade metabólica, correlacionando com a população de bactérias redutoras de sulfato, determinada através da técnica do Número Mais Provável (NMP). Amostras de água de formação e consórcio de BRS foram avaliadas através do arraste de sulfetos estáveis produzidos biogenicamente e quantificados por espectrofotometria. O cálculo das velocidades instantâneas e específicas de produção de sulfetos permitiu avaliar de que maneira alguns parâmetros de crescimento microbiano podem afetar o metabolismo das BRS. A detecção de concentrações traço de sulfetos biogênicos pode ser realizada através de ensaios radiorespirométricos. Para isto, diluições em série de água do mar sintética com três amostras distintas foram avaliadas. Os testes realizados indicam que o acréscimo do tempo de incubação de cultura microbiana anaeróbia mista contribuiu para o aumento das capacidades de redução de sulfato, assim como o aumento das fontes de carbono. Ambas as técnicas provaram ser um rápido teste para a detecção de sulfetos biogênicos, particularmente aqueles associados aos produtos de corrosão, sendo uma ferramenta muito útil para monitoração e controle de tanques de armazenamento de água e óleo, plataformas continentais de petróleo e diversos tipos de reservatórios. O presente trabalho prevê a continuidade dos experimentos, através de avaliação de um maior universo de amostras da indústria do petróleo e medições menos espaçadas da técnica espectrofotométrica, além da avaliação radiorespirométrica em modo contínuo, evitando os efeitos inibitórios do H2S

Ictiólogos de la Argentina: Camilo Antonio Daneri

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.

El tempe argentino

Marcos Sastre (1809-1887) fue un eminente educador y un destacado promotor de la cultura nacional además de un naturalista autodidacta. El Tempe Argentino, una de sus principales escritos, describe la flora, la fauna y la geografía del Delta del Paraná ilustrada con grabados de su autoría. Esta obra cuyo nombre evoca el Valle de Tempi, en la Tesalia griega fue publicada por primera vez en 1858 manteniendo su vigencia hasta mediados del siglo XX . En este número de la Serie Documentos presentamos la versión digitalizada de fragmentos - prólogo, introducción capítulo XVI, notas al apéndice y finales,semblanza de Marcos Sastre, bibliografía, reconocimientos, índice alfabético de la fauna y flora e índice completo-, de la obra publicada en 1938 por el Consejo Nacional de Educación . Esta edición gratuita fue corregida por el Dr. Emiliano Mac Donagh quién supervisó este libro incorporando notas e imágenes. En esta versión digital contamos con la invalorable y generosa ayuda del artista plástico Exequiel Martínez (http://www.exequielmartinez.com.ar/autor_a.htm) quién mejoró las figuras correspondientes a los peces, ya que, debido a la antigüedad de la edición y el proceso de digitalización, perdían definición. Esperamos, desde nuestro lugar, sumarnos a la divulgación que se viene realizando sobre este prohombre y contribuir con este modesto aporte, a recordar y difundir la obra de una de las figuras destacadas de la historia de la educación de la Argentina.

Peces continentales de la Argentina: Iconografía. Cheirodon interruptus

The goal of this work is to present a collection of drawings and figures depicting the species present in our country. To achieve this, our main sources of information have been the works of Ringuelet et al. (1967), Reis et al. (2003), and López et al. (2003; 2006), as well as the online databases of W. N. Eschmeyer and Fish Base. Each species has an individual factsheet with selected images, including some from anatomical research works. All the works referenced are mentioned in each factsheet. This is an open-ended publication. As such, it will require permanent updating,which will depend on the good will and collaboration of the ichthyological community. As compilers, we understand that this contribution not only provides valuable information, but also highlights the work of men and women who are part of the rich history of our national and regional ichthyology.

Peces continentales de la Argentina: Bibliografía. Cheirodon interruptus

The goal of this work is to compile the existing information about the species present in our country. This has been done by means of datasheets that list both local references and reviews by foreign authors that include Argentine taxa. The main information sources consulted were Ringuelet et al. (1967), CLOFFSCA (2003), López et al. (2003; 2006), Liotta (2006) and the online databases of W. N. Eschmeyer and Fish Base. This is an open-ended publication. As such, it will require permanent updating,which will depend on the good will and collaboration of the ichthyological community. With this contribution, we hope to help to build a database of the freshwater fish of Argentina. The completion of this project will provide support to diverse plans emanating from different sectors, as well as promote the diffusion of this field of research and reaffirm Argentina’s sovereign rights over our natural resources.
