In spite of being subject to a strong human intervention in the last decade, mainly related to the installation of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farms, the lagoon is still scarcely studied. The present study aims at characterizing the populations of the three autochthonous penaeid shrimp species inhabiting Guara?ras, taking into consideration their abundance and seasonal distribution in the inflow channel of Primar System of Organic Aquaculture (Tibau do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil). Twelve monthly samples were carried out from May 2005 to April 2006 with the aid of a circular cast net in the inflow channel, which is daily supplied with water from Guara?ras. Sampling months were grouped in trimesters according to the total pluviosity, thus comprising four trimesters. Water salinity was monitored twice a week and temperature values registered on a daily basis at noon, during the study period. The daily pluviosity data from the municipality of Tibau do Sul were supplied by Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecu?ria do Rio Grande do Norte (EMPARN). Collected shrimp were identified, weighted, measured and sexed. L. schmitti specimens (0.2 g to 17.8 g) were distributed in 1.3 g weight classes intervals. From the eighth sampling month (December 2005) onwards, males were classified into three categories, in accordance with the development of their petasm: (a) rudimentary petasm, (b) partially formed petasm, and (c) completely formed petasm. Among the ecological variables, rainfall showed the greatest dispersion (s.d.=187.74Rainfall and abundance of L. schmitti were negatively correlated (r = -0.85) whereas its abundance and water salinity were positively correlated (r = 0.63). Among 1,144 collected individuals, 1,127 were L. schmitti, 13 were F. subtilis and 4 were F. brasiliensis, which corresponded to 98.51%, 1.14% and 0.35% of the total of collected individuals. L. schmitti occurred in 100 % of all samples. Differently, the presence of F. subtilis and F. brasiliensis was restricted to 33% and 17% of the collected samples, respectively. The present study confirmed the occurrence of L. schmitti, F. brasiliensis and F. subtilis in Guara?ras. However, this lagoon seems to be primarily inhabited by juvenile Litopenaeus schmitti. The population of L. schmitti analysed showed a seasonal pattern of distribution. In general, in the months of high salinity and absence of rain, the number of individuals was higher than in the wet months. Further studies on the reproductive biology and ecology of L. schmitti, F. brasiliensis and F. subtilis may elucidate questions referring to the abundance, period, and phase of occurrence of these shrimp genera in Guara?ras. Finally, the risks associated to the establishment of L. vannamei in the lagoon provide a novel outlet for studies in this biotope / A laguna de Guara?ras, localizada no litoral oriental do Rio Grande do Norte (Brasil), apresenta uma conex?o permanente com o mar, o que garante a ocorr?ncia de uma rica biodiversidade, que inclui as esp?cies aut?ctones de camar?o Litopenaeus schmitti, Farfantepenaeus subtilis e Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis. Esta laguna, apesar de sofrer forte a??o antr?pica na ?ltima d?cada, principalmente relacionada ? instala??o de cultivos de Litopenaeus vannamei, ? ainda pouco estudada. O presente estudo objetiva caracterizar as popula??es das tr?s esp?cies aut?ctones de camar?es pene?deos que habitam Guara?ras, levando em considera??o sua abund?ncia e distribui??o sazonal no canal de abastecimento do Sistema Primar de Aq?icultura Org?nica (Tibau do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil). Com o aux?lio de uma rede circular (tarrafa), doze coletas mensais foram realizadas no canal de abastecimento, o qual ? abastecido diariamente com ?gua captada de Guara?ras, no per?odo compreendido entre maio de 2005 e abril de 2006. Os meses de coleta foram agrupados em trimestres de acordo com a pluviosidade total, perfazendo quatro trimestres. A salinidade da ?gua foi registrada duas vezes por semana e temperatura diariamente, sempre ?s 12h, durante o per?odo de estudo. Os dados de pluviosidade di?ria do munic?pio de Tibau do Sul foram obtidos da Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecu?ria do Rio Grande do Norte (EMPARN). Os esp?cimes camar?es coletados foram identificados, pesados, medidos e sexados. Os esp?cimes de L. schmitti, distribu?dos em classes com intervalos de 1,3 g, apresentaram peso entre 0,2 g e 17,8 g. A partir do oitavo m?s de coleta (dezembro de 2005), os machos foram classificados em tr?s categorias, de acordo com o grau de desenvolvimento do petasma: (a) petasma rudimentar, (b) petasma parcialmente formado e (c) petasma completamente formado. Dentre as vari?veis ecol?gicas, a pluviosidade apresentou o maior desvio padr?o (d.p.= 184,74). Houve correla??o negativa entre a pluviosidade e a abund?ncia de L. schmitti (r = -0,85) e correla??o positiva (r = 0,63) entre a abund?ncia e a salinidade. Dos 1.144 indiv?duos coletados, 1.127 pertenciam ? esp?cie L. schmitti, 13 ? esp?cie F. subtilis e 4 ? esp?cie F. brasiliensis, correspondendo respectivamente a 98,51%, 1,14% e 0,35% do total de indiv?duos coletados. L. schmitti esteve presente em 100% das amostras. Diferentemente, a presen?a de F. subtilis e F. brasiliensis ficou restrita a 33% e 17% das amostras coletadas, respectivamente. O presente estudo confirmou a ocorr?ncia de L. schmitti, F. brasiliensis e F. subtilis na laguna. No entanto, Guara?ras ? povoada basicamente por juvenis de L. schmitti. A popula??o de L. schmitti analisada apresentou um padr?o de distribui??o sazonal. Em geral, nos meses de estiagem e elevada salinidade, o n?mero de indiv?duos coletados foi maior que nos meses de chuva. Estudos adicionais sobre a biologia reprodutiva e ecologia de L. schmitti, F. brasiliensis e F. subtilis podem elucidar quest?es referentes ? abund?ncia, ao tempo e ? fase de estada dos indiv?duos destes g?neros na laguna. Finalmente, os riscos associados ao estabelecimento de Litopenaeus vannamei em Guara?ras apresentam uma nova vertente para estudos nesse bi?topo
