Abstracts

Regular fish stock assessment cruises could provide a proper data platform to sample zooplankton. It is essential, however, that adequate sampling designs should be developed for each area so that zooplankton features may be accurately described with minimum sampling effort. On the Northern Argentine Continental Shelf (NACS, 34-41ºS), a sectioned-sampling design (18 samples distributed in 4 sections) associated with E. anchoita stock estimation cruises was implemented to provide a rapid and reliable survey of zooplankton distribution in relation to the physical environment. The results obtained were similar to those registered in previous studies based on exhaustive sampling. We suggest that a new zooplankton time series covering this broad área be established, based on this sampling design, to contribute to the knowledge of the variability of zooplankton populations and their relation to fishery resources.

As campanhas de avaliação de recursos pesqueiros podem fornecer uma adequada base de dados para o monitoramento do zooplâncton. No entanto, o desenvolvimento de um esquema de amostragem apropriado constitui uma tarefa difícil, quando se deseja descrever as características do zooplâncton, com um mínimo de esforço amostral. No setor norte da Plataforma Continental Argentina (NACS, 34º - 41ºS), se projetou um desenho amostral em seções (18 amostras distribuídas em 4 seções), associadas à campanha de avaliação dos recursos pesqueiros de E. anchoita, visando conseguir uma estimativa rápida e confiável da distribuição do zooplâncton. Os resultados obtidos foram semelhantes aos registrados em estudos prévios, baseados na análise de um grande número amostral. Sugere-se o estabelecimento de uma nova serie temporal de dados que envolva uma área amostral alargada e um desenho amostral restrito, visando contribuir para o conhecimento da variação das populações zooplanctônicas e sua relação com os recursos pesqueiros.
