Resumos

Estudos sobre a composição e variação diurna do zooplâncton do estuário do Pina (PE) foram reali;r.ados, baseando-se em 200 litros de água superficial, coletada e filtrada em uma rede com malha de 69 11m de abertura, durante os períodos seco Uaneiro e fevereiro/91) e chuvoso Uunho e julho/91), em um ciclo diurno de 12 h. Paralelamente, foram coletados dados hidrolÓgicos. O zooplâncton esteve representado por 19 taxa, além do meroplâncton. Destacaram-se Favella ehrenbergi, Brachionus plicatilis, Copepoda nauplii e Oithona osvaldocnlzi (♀). Valores quantitativos mais altos foram registrados no peJíodo seco. O máximo registrado foi de 411.7490rg.m-3 e o mínimo 2.6230rg.m-3 .As correntes de marés foram as principais responsáveis pela variação espacial do zooplâncton. A diversidade específica foi baixa, evidenciando processos seletivos no estuário.

Composieionand daily variation of zooplankton in the estuary of Pina (Brazil- PE) was studied based on 200L of water filtered at surface through a net mesh size of 69 Jlm, during the dry (January-February/91) and the rainy (June-July/91) seasons. The samplcs were collected with time interval of three hours, during a daylight period. Concurrent hydrological data were obtained. Nineteen taxon of zooplankton were registered, including meroplankton, of which the most abundant was Favella ehrenbergi, followed by Brachionus plicatilis, Copepoda nauplii and Oithona osvaldocnlzi (♀). Higher quantitatives values occured in the dry reason. The maximum registered was 411,7490rg.m-3 and the minimum 2,6230rg.m-3 . The tidal currents were the main factor influencing the zooplankton spacial variation. Specific diversity was low, highlighting selcctive processes in the Pina estuary.

ABSTRACT

Composieionand daily variation of zooplankton in the estuary of Pina (Brazil- PE) was studied based on 200L of water filtered at surface through a net mesh size of 69 Jlm, during the dry (January-February/91) and the rainy (June-July/91) seasons. The samplcs were collected with time interval of three hours, during a daylight period. Concurrent hydrological data were obtained. Nineteen taxon of zooplankton were registered, including meroplankton, of which the most abundant was Favella ehrenbergi, followed by Brachionus plicatilis, Copepoda nauplii and Oithona osvaldocnlzi (♀). Higher quantitatives values occured in the dry reason. The maximum registered was 411,7490rg.m^-3 and the minimum 2,6230rg.m^-3 . The tidal currents were the main factor influencing the zooplankton spacial variation. Specific diversity was low, highlighting selcctive processes in the Pina estuary.
