Distribuzione dei popolamenti di invertebrati bentonici nella laguna di Messolonghi

Le lagune costituiscono ecosistemi dinamici ed eterogenei, caratterizzati da comunità biologiche più ristrette rispetto agli ambienti marini confinanti. Si tratta di ambienti delicati e spesso soggetti a disturbo antropico, per cui è importante monitorare lo stato ecologico del loro sistema. Un ottimo strumento per questa valutazione è rappresentato dalle comunità di invertebrati che popolano i sedimenti. Nel presente studio ci si propone di indagare la struttura dei popolamenti macrobentonici nella laguna di Messolonghi (Grecia occidentale), parte di un sistema lagunare di importanza ecologica in tutto il Mediterraneo, come testimoniato dalla designazione di ‘important bird area’ (IPA) nell’ambito del programma sviluppato dall’organizzazione BirdLife International; dalla presenza di siti dichiarati di interesse comunitario (SIC) all’interno della rete di protezione europea “Natura 2000”, nell’ambito della Direttiva Habitat (92/43/CEE). In questo studio viene indagata la struttura della comunità di invertebrati nella laguna e il ruolo della vegetazione e delle condizioni ambientali nel condizionare la disposizione dei popolamenti. A tale scopo vengono applicati indici di diversità che vengono messi in relazione alle specie vegetali presenti e alle caratteristiche del sedimento. I risultati mostrano una comunità diversificata, non regolata da un preciso gradiente ambientale, su cui la principale influenza risulta essere la vegetazione nel suo complesso. Nelle stazioni vegetate si trova un’elevata ricchezza specifica mentre l’equidistribuzione rimane invariata tra habitat vegetato e non. Dalle possibili correlazioni esaminate, risulta che l’abbondanza di alcuni dei taxa più importanti nel differenziamento delle strutture di comunità osservato varia in relazione alla granulometria dei sedimenti e al loro contenuto in azoto e carbonio organico.

Estado forestal del Pinus caribaea Morelet var. Hondurensis en el Pinal, Laguna de Perlas, RAAS

Tbe present study was carried out in the strip of land coast between Pearls Lagoon community and the Caribbean sea, in the nearness of Pinar lagoon, 25 km to the north of Bluefields. The geographical coordinates of the area are 12" 13' N and 83" 42' west. Tbe climate presents an annua! rninfall of 4 250 mm, an avera· ge temperature of 26 "C and a relative humidity of 89 %. The topography is plain and tbe elevation oscillates between O· 10 masl. The ma.in objective of the study was to evaluate the forest conditions in which forest of P. Caribaea var .. Jwndurei'ISis ealled the Pinal are found. The methodology employed consisted of gathering all information using air pllotographs and topograpbieal maps to defined the area and stands group (designed A, B, C, D, E, F and G). Two block and seven stands were found, in which invent.ory lines with sample plots of 500 m1 each one were employed to measure the indivíduals with DBH over 10 cm. The intensily it shows ís of !5% and was measured diameter, height, age and other. In tbis forest there where found seven stands with a total area covered with pine of 312.42 has. The average age is 23 years and estirnated total volume of 97.4 ms of wood. The density is of 60,61 trees hectare, with an average volume of 13.02 m3 /has and a commercial volume of 8.29 m' 1 has. Where found lndices of place 12 (stands G), 9 y 6. Besides, the 6.3.64 % of the trees has a satisfactory tendency of growlh (quality l and 2). lt can be concluded that the resource is in badly state due to intensive exploitations and annual f!fCS; is a young forest (23 years old), dotninated by índi viduals of small diameters (10-25 cm) and medium height (5-25 m); the available areas or with possibilities of being planting are: estimated in 468.64 has. This forest has a half annual increment of 1.4.3 cm/year, which is considered excellent and is c1assified with Clas P-III, FAO Classification by forests stratification.

Plan de negocios en las comunidades de la Laguna Negra y San Isidro del municipio de Camoapa

El presente trabajo es una investigación de campo de tipo descriptivo, documental, no experimental y se realizó según las normativas de la Universidad Nacional Agraria. En primer lugar, se realizaron las visitas a las comunidades de San Isidro y La Laguna Negra con el propósito de observar y conocer la situación socioe conómica de las familias y a la vez conseguir el involucramiento y aprobación de la población para la utilización de las casas comunales de una forma viable y su mejoramiento. Se utilizó el método matricial para elegir una idea de negocio a ejecutar y desarrollarla en ambas casas comunales, siendo electa la elaboración de un plan de negocio que incluye la venta de abarrotes, medicinas y herramientas del campo. Los resultados están basados a la estructura de un Plan de Negocios, teniendo unas compras proyectadas para el primer mes de C$ 109,867.09 y unas ventas de C$ 128,461.98 en ambas casas obteniendo una ganancia de C$ 18,594.89; con una ganancia anual de C$ 223,138.68. Para la iniciación del negocio se pretende realizar un crédito de C$ 243,796.49 con una tasa de interés del 14%, con pagos anuales; se obtuvo un valor actual neto de 82,510.62 y una tasa de interés rentable de 19.34%. Como la idea principal era la mejora de las casas comunales se ejecutó la elaboración de un presupuesto de inversión el cual asume una cantidad de C$ 112,929.40 (Ciento doce mil novecientos veinte y nueve córdobas con 40/100); la cual se incluirá en la inversión inicial sustentada en el financiamiento.

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)
