Bioacumulação e biomagnificação de metais pesados em teias tróficas de estuários do sul-sudeste do Brasil / Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of heavy metals in trophic webs of estuaries of the southern and southeastern of Brazil

Tailisi Hoppe Trevizani 09 October 2018 (has links)
A região costeira do Brasil é historicamente impactada por atividades antrópicas, que liberam contaminantes, como os metais pesados. Nos estuários de Paranaguá (PR), Cananéia e Santos (SP), tais atividades estão presentes em diferentes níveis. Neste estudo foram investigadas as concentrações de arsênio, cádmio, chumbo, cobre, cromo, níquel, selênio, zinco e mercúrio, além de isótopos estáveis de carbono e nitrogênio, em sedimentos, fragmentos vegetais e organismos marinhos, como invertebrados bentônicos, peixes bentívoros e mamíferos marinhos, coletados nos três estuários. As amostragens foram realizadas em 2015, sendo as análises de isótopos realizadas por EA-IRMS e as análises de metais pesados realizadas por ICP OES-VGA e ICP-MS. As razões isotópicas permitiram a distinção entre fontes de matéria orgânica e nível trófico. Exemplares da ictiofauna e de cetáceos analisados não apresentaram distinção entre os níveis tróficos 3 e 4, indicando uma dieta generalista para estes animais e potencial compartilhamento de nicho trófico. Os metais apresentaram maiores concentrações nos sedimentos do estuário de Santos, coincidindo com o local com maior intensidade de atividades antrópicas. Comparando os estuários há maior acumulação de: Cr, Cu, Zn e Hg em Paranaguá, As e Pb em Cananéia, e Cd, Ni e Se em Santos, resultados justificados por atividades antrópicas, fontes naturais e características geoquímicas de cada região. A tendência de biomagnificação de Se foi observada nas teias tróficas de todos os estuários, e de Zn e Hg nas teias de Paranaguá e Cananéia. Entretanto, As, Cr, Cu, Ni e Pb demostraram tendência a biodiluição nas teias tróficas estudadas, com maior bioacumulação em invertebrados bentônicos. Portanto, este estudo traz um panorama atual da distribuição espacial e trófica de metais pesados nos estuários, colaborando com o monitoramento e ações de gestão costeira. / The coastal region of Brazil is historically impacted by anthropic activities, which release contaminants such as heavy metals. In the estuaries of Paranaguá (PR), Cananéia and Santos (SP), these activities are present in different levels. In the present study, concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, lead, copper, chromium, nickel, selenium, zinc and mercury were investigated, as well as stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in sediments, plant fragments and marine organisms such as benthic invertebrates, benthivorous fish and marine mammals, collected in the three estuaries. Samples were collected in 2015, with isotope analysis performed by EA-IRMS and heavy metal analysis performed by ICP OES-VGA and ICP-MS. Isotopic ratios allowed the distinction between organic matter sources and trophic level. The specimens of the ichthyofauna and cetaceans analyzed did not present distinction between trophic levels 3 and 4, indicating a generalist diet for these animals and a potential sharing of trophic niche. The metals have presented higher concentrations in the sediments from Santos estuary, what coincides with the place with greater intensity of anthropic activities. Comparing the estuaries, there is more bioaccumulation of Cr, Cu, Zn and Hg in Paranaguá, As and Pb in Cananéia, and Cd, Ni and Se in Santos; results which are justified by anthropic activities, natural sources and geochemical characteristics of each region. A biomagnification tendency of Se was observed in the trophic webs of all estuaries, and Zn and Hg in the Paranaguá\'s and Cananéia\'s webs. However, As, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb displayed a tendency to biodilution in the studied trophic webs; with a higher bioaccumulation in benthic invertebrates. Therefore this study provides a current overview of the spatial and trophic distribution of heavy metals in the estuaries. Thus, it is collaborating with the monitoring and actions of coastal management.

Ανάλυση περιβαλλοντικών παραμέτρων της λιμνοθάλασσας Καϊάφα σε περιβάλλον G.I.S.

Παπαδάκης, Εμμανουήλ 17 October 2007 (has links)
Η περιοχή μελέτης είναι η λιμνοθάλασσα Καϊάφα.Η μελέτη αυτή βασίστηκε στη συλλογή και ανάλυση γεωφυσικών δεδομένων, στην ανάλυση πυρήνων ιζήματος καθώς και σε μικροβιολογική ανάλυση δειγμάτων νερού της λιμνοθάλασσας. Τέλος ελήφθησαν δείγματα υδρόβιων φυτών από τον πυθμένα της λιμνοθάλασσας για τον έλεγχο των γεωφυσικών δεδομένων. Η γεωφυσική έρευνα-δειγματοληψία και η κοκκομετρική ανάλυση έδειξαν δυο περιοχές στον πυθμένα με διαφορετική κοκκομετρική σύσταση (αμμώδης-ιλυώδης πυθμένας) και διαφορετική βλάστηση (Chara hispida f. corfuensis και Potamogeton pectinatus). Επίσης χαρτογραφήθηκαν περιοχές του πυθμένα όπως, κρατηρόμορφοι σχηματισμοί, ουλές και μέτωπα. Η μικροβιολογική ανάλυση έδειξε περιοχές με έντονη μόλυνση κοπρανώδους προέλευσης καθώς και περιοχές χωρίς σημαντική βακτηριακή επιβάρυνση. Οι περιοχές όπου παρατηρείται η μεγαλύτερη μόλυνση είναι τα λουτρά του Καϊάφα και η περιοχή απέναντι από τις στις τουριστικές εγκαταστάσεις του Ε.Ο.Τ (προβλήτα). Η μικρότερη μόλυνση παρατηρείται στο κέντρο της λιμνοθάλασσας όπου ο αριθμός ολικών βακτηρίων και κολοβακρτηρίων είναι μηδενικός. Τέλος η γεωχημική ανάλυση έδειξε παρόμοιες συγκεντρώσεις βαρέων μετάλλων στα ιζήματα με άλλες παράκτιες περιοχές του ελληνικού χώρου. / The study area is Kaiafas lagoon, West Peloponnese. For this study it was collected and analyzed digital geophysical data (side scan sonar echographs), two cores of sediment and samples of water for microbiological examination. It was also collected samples of marine plants for groundtruthing. The geophysical survey-grain size analysis revealed different grain size composition in the South and North part of the lagoon (sandy-silty seabed correspondingly), which was covered with different marine plants species (Chara hispida –Potamogeton pectinatus. The mapping of seabed showed crater-like formations, scars and fronts. The microbiological analysis showed that the pollution (from fecal bacteria) was restricted in the South part of the lagoon near the pipe of the biological treatment plant. In a lower extend, fecal pollution was tracked in the western part of the lagoon near the touristic settlement of E.O.T. The greater part of the lagoon is unpolluted. Geochemistry analysis showed similar levels of heavy metals in sediment with other coastal areas in Greece.

Βιοπαρακολούθηση (biomonitoring) των προστατευόμενων περιοχών του δικτύου Φύση 2000 με σύγχρονες μεθόδους τηλεπισκόπησης και τηλεμετρίας

Γεωργιάδης, Γεώργιος 20 April 2011 (has links)
Η επιστήμη της τηλεπισκόπησης και τα δορυφορικά δεδομένα, αποτελούν σήμερα ένα σύγχρονο επιστημονικό εργαλείο, αφού παρέχουν πλήθος σημαντικών πληροφοριών διευκολύνοντας σημαντικά την έρευνα σε πολλά επιστημονικά πεδία. Στην παρούσα εργασία παρουσιάζεται ένα ολοκληρωμένο σύστημα διαχρονικής παρακολούθησης της βλάστησης και των ανθρώπινων επιδράσεων στην προστατευόμενη περιοχή του Δάσους της Στροφιλιάς – λιμνοθάλασσας Καλογριάς και Κοτυχίου με σύγχρονες μεθόδους Τηλεπισκόπησης και Τηλεμετρίας. Ειδικότερα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν αεροφωτογραφίες και εικόνες από το δορυφόρο Landsat για απεικόνιση των φασματικών υπογραφών και ανίχνευση των μεταβολών της βλάστησης και του τοπίου. Επίσης χρησιμοποιήθηκαν δεδομένα από αισθητήρες μέτρησης υδρολογικών παραμέτρων για να δείξουμε χρονικές μεταβολές. Τέλος δημιουργήθηκε μία on-line βάση δεδομένων με σκοπό να διευκολύνει την εργασία πεδίου αλλά και το χρόνο της καταχώρησης της δειγματοληψίας. / In nowadays the science of remote sensing and satellite data, represent a modern scientific tool, due to the fact that can provide plenty of important information making easier the research in a lot of scientific fields. In the present work we demonstrate a complete biomonitoring system of diachronic follow-up of vegetation and human effects in the protected region of Strofylia's Forest and the lagoons of Kalogrias and Kotyhi, with modern remote sensing methods and Telemetry. More specifically we used aerial photos and satellite images from the Landsat satellite in order to illustrate spectrum signatures and detection of changes. Also we analyzed data from sensors that measured environmental parameters in order to show time changes. Finally we created an online database so as to store all this important information that we produced but also to minimize the total time of registration and sampling.

Cianobactérias como parâmetro de qualidade ambiental: um estudo no complexo lagunas de Jacarepaguá. / Cyanobacteria as environmental quality parameters: a study in Jacarepaguá lagoon complex.

Gláucia Freitas Sampaio 07 March 2008 (has links)
O Complexo Lagunar de Jacarepaguá, localizado no município do Rio de Janeiro, região sudeste do Brasil, é formado pelas lagunas de Jacarepaguá, Camorim, Tijuca e Marapendi. Estas lagunas estão interligadas ao mar pelo canal da Joatinga e têm como afluentes rios e canais que vertem dos maciços da Tijuca e da Pedra Branca. Recebem esgotos sanitários e efluentes industriais, além de contribuições difusas de águas de drenagem e circulação das massas de águas de várias origens, com elevada carga de poluição. A eutrofização cultural aliada aos processos de evolução de ecossistemas costeiros produziu um estado de degradação destas águas com constantes florações de cianobactérias potencialmente tóxicas. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a ocorrência das cianobactérias (Classe Cyanophyceae) no Complexo Lagunar de Jacarepaguá e corroborar a hipótese de serem boas indicadoras de qualidade ambiental de águas salobras. Foi realizado um monitoramento ambiental nas lagunas de Jacarepaguá, Camorim, Tijuca e Marapendi, nos anos de 2004 a 2006, sendo analisados parâmetros físicos, químicos e biológicos. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram a dominância e a persistência das cianobactérias em elevadas concentrações de nutrientes, caracterizando a hipereutrofização dessas lagunas. As estratégias ecológicas das cianobactérias garantiram sua dominância em quase todo o período amostral e demonstraram ser um refinado sensor das variáveis ambientais. A salinidade não foi um fator de limitação ao desenvolvimento desses microorganismos. Desta forma, este estudo, oferece subsídios para gestão de recursos hídricos, corroborando com a legislação CONAMA 357/05-MMA, na sugestão de indicação deste parâmetro de qualidade ambiental também para ambientes salobros na classe 1. / The Jacarepaguá Lagoon Complex, located in the state of the Rio of Janeiro, in Southeast of Brazil, is formed by the lagoons of Jacarepaguá, Camorim, Tijuca and Marapendi. These lagoons are interconnected to the sea by the Joatinga canal and receive contribution from tributary rivers and channels that come from Tijuca and Pedra Branca massifs. They receive industrial and domestic effluents, including diffuse contributions of the drainage basin, as well as water circulation from several origins, with a high pollution load. The cultural eutrophication associated with coastal ecosystems evolution processes, have produced a state of degradation of these waters with frequent waterblooms of potentially toxic cyanobacteria. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the presence of Cyanobacteria (Class Cyanophyceae) in the Jacarepaguá Lagoon Complex and also to corroborate the hypothesis of using them as a good bioindicators of environmental quality in brackish waters. An environmental monitoring program has been carried out in the lagoons of Jacarepaguá, Camorim, Tijuca and Marapendi from 2004 to 2006, including physical, chemical and biological parameters analysis. The results showed the dominance and persistence of Cyanobacteria at high concentrations of nutrients, characterizing the hypereutrofication of these lagoons. The ecological strategies of Cyanobacteria were responsible for their dominance in almost the whole period of study and demonstrated that they can be used as a good sensor of environmental variables. The salinity did not demonstrate to be a limiting factor to the development of these microorganisms. In this way, this study provides subsidies for water resources management, corroborating with Brazilian legislation (CONAMA 357/05- MMA) suggesting the inclusion of Cyanobacteria as a parameter of environmental quality in brackish environments classified as Class 1.

Avaliação da metodologia IQAFAL nas bacias contribuintes da Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, RJ, Brasil. / Assessment methodology in IQAFAL taxpayers basins Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, RJ, Brazil.

Carolina Mendes Coimbra 05 April 2011 (has links)
A pressão antrópica crescente impõe a necessidade de um monitoramento sistemático da água e de seus ambientes aquáticos. O desenvolvimento de Índices de Qualidade de Água (IQAs) tem como objetivo transformar dados em informações acessíveis e de fácil entendimento para os gestores e usuários das águas, visando refletir a deterioração deste recurso em nível de bacia hidrográfica e ao longo do tempo. O Instituto Estadual do Ambiente (INEA) adotou um novo Índice de Qualidade de Água para ambiente lótico, baseado em lógica nebulosa, o IQAFAL, desenvolvido no âmbito do rio Paraíba do Sul. O objetivo principal deste estudo consiste em aplicar o IQAFAL aos rios dos Macacos, Cabeça e Rainha, contribuintes da bacia de drenagem da Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, de grande interesse sócio-político-ambiental para a cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Busca-se analisar a sua adequação em sintetizar a qualidade de água em bacias hidrográficas de pequeno porte e primordialmente urbana. Para tanto, utilizam-se dados físicos, químicos e biológicos do INEA, no período 2003 - 2010. Os resultados mostraram que o IQAFAL foi capaz de refletir a qualidade da água de modo satisfatório e compatível com os registros disponíveis e a percepção de especialistas acerca da real qualidade dos rios. Ou seja, este Índice se mostrou mais sensível às condições ruins, traduzindo a verdadeira condição destes corpos dágua, ao contrário do IQACETESB, que classifica estas águas como de qualidade mediana. Os resultados confirmam também as vantagens deste índice, observadas em estudos anteriores, sobretudo quanto à capacidade de identificar as variáveis de qualidade de água que são mais determinantes para o resultado final do Índice, através do estudo dos subíndices. / The increasing anthropogenic pressure imposes the need for a systematic monitoring of water and its aquatic environments. The development of Water Quality Indexes, WQIs (IQAs, acronym in Portuguese) aims to turn data into accessible and easy understandable information for managers and water users, in order to reflect the deterioration of this resource in terms of watershed, throughout the time. The State of Rio de Janeiro Environmental Institute (INEA) has adopted a new Water Quality Index for lotic environments, based on fuzzy logic, the WQI, developed for the study in the range of the Paraíba do Sul river. The main goal of this study is to apply IQAFAL to the dos Macacos, the Cabeça, and the Rainha rivers, which are tributary rivers of the drainage basin of the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, of a great socio-political-environmental interest for the city of Rio de Janeiro. The aim is to analyze their suitability in synthesizing the water quality in small river basin and primordially urban. To this end, we used physical, chemical and biological data from INEA, in the period 2003 to 2010. The results showed that the WQI was able to evidence the water quality in a satisfactory way and consistent with the available records and the perceptions of experts about the real quality of the rivers. In other words, this index was more sensitive to bad conditions, showing the true condition of these water bodies, unlike WQICETESB, which classifies these waters as average quality ones. The results also confirm the advantages of this index, observed in previous studies, especially its ability to identify the variables of water quality which are more decisive for the index outcome, through the study of subindexes.

Sources, diversité et propriétés d’adhérence des Pseudomonas aeruginosa introduits en rivière péri-urbaine par temps de pluie / Sources, diversity and adhesion properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa introduced into a peri-urban river during wet weather

Boukerb, Amine Mohamed 18 December 2015 (has links)
Les rejets urbains par temps de pluie dégradent l’état écologique des écosystèmes aquatiques et peuvent induire une exposition des populations humaines aux contaminants chimiques et microbiens (bactéries, virus, parasites). L’objectif de ce travail de thèse était d’évaluer les effectifs et de prédire le devenir de bactéries pathogènes introduites dans les milieux aquatiques par une source majeure comme les eaux usées rejetées par des dispositifs tels que les déversoirs d’orage (DO) et les lagunes d’épuration (WWTL). La répartition d’un agent pathogène fortement liée aux milieux hydriques, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a été comparée avec celles observées pour des indicateurs de contaminations fécales (E. coli et les entérocoques intestinaux), mais également avec celle de l’espèce pathogène Aeromonas caviae. La dangerosité des formes retrouvées dans ces milieux a été évaluée par approches moléculaires (PFGE et MLST). Les résultats obtenus montrent un fort apport en P. aeruginosa via les eaux usées, avec un effet significatif sur les effectifs observés en fonction de l’intensité des pluies et des périodes de temps sec, et les fluctuations du régime hydrologique et des paramètres physico-chimiques. Une grande diversité infra-spécifique des P. aeruginosa, et la capacité de certains génotypes à s’installer durablement dans ces milieux (macrophytes et périphyton) ont été observées. Certaines souches ont par ailleurs montré une parenté avec des lignées d’infections communautaires, ou encore des clones épidémiques majeurs (PA14 et C). Des études en microcosme ont été effectuées pour valider les interactions observées avec certains macrophytes, et identifier des propriétés d’adhérence bactérienne (dont les lectines) impliquées dans ces interactions. Ces travaux ont impliqué une analyse de la distribution des gènes lecA et lecB, codant des lectines chez P. aeruginosa, et une étude de leurs ligands. Le gène lecA a été localisé dans une zone de forte plasticité génomique. Ces travaux ont permis la description d’une nouvelle structure de l’adhésine LecB / Urban wet-weather discharges degrade the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems and may expose human populations to chemical and microbial contaminants (bacteria, viruses, parasites). The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the numbers and predict the fate of pathogenic bacteria introduced into aquatic ecosystems by a major source like wastewater from devices such as combined sewer overflows (CSO) and wastewater treatment lagoons (WWTL). The distribution of a human pathogen closely linked to hydric environments, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was compared with those observed for fecal indicators (E. coli and intestinal enterococci), but also with that of Aeromonas caviae pathogenic species. Dangerousness of strains found in these environments was evaluated by molecular approaches (PFGE and MLST). Obtained results showed a high contribution of wastewater in P. aeruginosa release, with a significant effect of rainfall intensity and preceding dry periods, in addition to changes in hydrological regime and physico-chemical parameters on recorded data. A large infra-specific diversity was observed within P. aeruginosa and the ability of some genotypes to colonize permanently aquatic surfaces (macrophytes and periphyton) were observed. Some strains showed a kinship with lineages of community infections or major epidemic clones (PA14 and C). Microcosm studies were performed to validate observed interactions with macrophytes, and to identify bacterialadhesion properties (including lectins) involved in these interactions. These investigations involved analysis of the distribution of lectin encoding loci lecA and lecB within P. aeruginosa, and a study of their ligands. lecA was located in a highly unstable genomic region. This work allowed the description of a new structure of the adhesin LecB

Avaliação da influência do canal do Valo Grande na composição molecular e isotópica da matéria orgânica depositada no Sistema Estuarino-Lagunar de Cananéia-Iguape-SP / The influence of Valo Grande channel on the molecular and isotopic composition of the organic matter in Cananéia-Iguape Estuarine-Lagoon System

Ana Cecilia Rizzatti de Albergaria Barbosa 25 September 2013 (has links)
O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar, através da análise de n-alcanos e de suas razões isotópicas, a influência da abertura do canal artificial do Valo Grande (VG) nas fontes de matéria orgânica (OM) do Sistema Estuarino-Lagunar de Cananéia-Iguape (CIELS). Os compostos foram analisados em quatro testemunhos, 22 sedimentos superficiais e em folhas de nove espécies de plantas dominantes na região de estudo. Os parâmetros avaliados nas folhas amostradas permitiram separar as espécies estudadas em monocotiledôneas e dicotiledôneas, e em vegetação lenhosa de mangue e de restinga. Esta separação foi útil na identificação das fontes de OM do CIELS. Os dados dos sedimentos superficiais mostraram que a principal fonte de OM no sistema é a vegetação de restinga. Esta se dá principalmente na região norte, onde está presente o VG. A influência fitoplanctônica, das macrófitas emersas e da vegetação de mangue é maior na região sul. Os dados dos testemunhos mostraram que a abertura do VG aumentou a contribuição da vegetação de restinga e das macrófitas aquáticas na OM presente ao longo do CIELS, diminuindo a influência fitoplanctônica e das macrófitas emersas. Assim, a qualidade e quantidade de OM do CIELS foram influenciadas pela presença do VG. / This study aimed to verify, through the use of n-alkanes and their isotopic composition, the influence of the Valo Grande artificial channel (VG) on organic matter (OM) sources of the Cananéia-Iguape Estuarine-Lagoon System (CIELS). The compounds were analyzed in four cores, 22 surface samples and nine dominants plants species leaves sampled on the studied area. The parameters evaluated on the leaves permitted to group the studied species in mono and dicotyledonous, and in mangrove and resting vegetation. This was useful to identify the OM sources on the CIELS. The surface sediment data showed that the CIELS OM is mainly composed by restinga vegetation. This occurs mainly on the northern region, where the VG is present. The influence of phytoplankton, of emergent macrophytes and of mangrove trees is higher on the southern region. The cores data showed that the VG opening increased the influences of Atlantic Forest and aquatic macrophytes on the CIELS OM, decreasing the emergent macrophytes and the phytoplankton influence. So, the type and the amount of OM on the CIELS are influenced by the VG presence.

Caracterização espaço-temporal do sistema estuarino-lagunar de Cananéia-Iguape (SP) a partir das associações de foraminíferos e tecamebas e suas relações com as variáveis ambientais / Spatio-temporal characterization of lagoon-estuarine system Cananéia-Iguape (SP) from the associations of foraminifera and thecamoebians and their relationships with environmental variables

Katia Simone Jaworski 19 November 2010 (has links)
A população de foraminíferos e tecamebas no SELCI evidenciou variação espacial, caracterizando alta dominância de hialinos e porcelanáceos no verão, e aglutinantes no inverno. Essa distribuição da microfauna estava associada a maior influência marinha dos setores externos e a forte influência do regime regional de chuvas nos setores internos. Constatou-se como bioindicadores a espécie Pararotalia cananeiaensis indicando o alcance da cunha salina nas porções internas do sistema, os miliolídeos indicando ambientes com renovação de águas marinhas e fluxos mais energéticos no sistema, o gênero Miliammina spp. e as tecamebas indicando ambientes de baixa salinidade. Através do Ic foi possível detectar o impacto do balanço entre as influências continentais e marinhas no sistema, com a intrusão salina sazonalmente distinta, devido às próprias condições regionais e geomorfológicas do sistema. Na tentativa de encontrar ambientes hipóxicos foi aplicado o IAE, porém este índice não gerou resultados satisfatórios neste sistema estuarino, visto que outros fatores representaram ser variáveis mais importantes do que a concentração de oxigênio dissolvido. O cálculo da BFAR foi testado revelando que a geomorfologia do SELCI foi um fator determinante na distribuição das espécies e que a BFAR foi uma medida qualitativa do fluxo de MO no sistema. Através das análises estatísticas multivariadas foi possível determinar as associações da microfauna, sendo estas condicionadas, nas duas campanhas, principalmente pelos fatores salinidade, substrato e profundidade. / The population of foraminifera and thecamoebians in the CILES (Cananéia-Iguape Lagoon Estuarine System) evidenced spatial variation, characterizing high dominance of hyalines and porcelanaceous during the summer and agglutinated in the winter. This microfauna distribution was associated to stronger marine influence in the outer sections and to strong regional pluviosity in the inner sections. The bioindicator species were Pararotalia cananeiaensis, evidencing the extent of the salt water wedge in the inner portion of the system, the miliolidae, indicating environments with renewal of marine water and more energetic fluxes in the system and the gender Miliammina spp. and thecamoebians indicating areas of low salinity. Trough the Ic it was possible to identify the impact of the balance between marine and fresh waters influence in the system, with saline intrusion seasonally distinct, due to the system\'s own regional and morphological conditions. An attempt to identify hypoxia areas was made using the AEI (Ammonia-Elphidium Index) test, however, this index did not reveal satisfactory results in this estuarine system, since other factors seem to be more representative than the dissolved oxygen concentration. The geomorphology of the CILES was proved to be a determinant factor in the distribution of the species through the BFAR (Benthic Foraminifera Accumulation Rate) calculation, which was also a qualitative measure of the flux of organic matter (TOC) in the system. Statistical analysis proved that the associations of microfauna, was driven, in both campaigns, by salinity, substract and depth.
