The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the 2030

The 2009–2010 “El Niño”-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event was characterized by a warm-phase leading to a five-fold increase in the Río de la Plata river flow and an associated change in trophic state because of organic enrichment. We analyzed the biotic response of benthic communities to such an increased trophic state during this ENSO event using

Abstract During the “El Niño”- Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event 2009-2010, trophic state uni (TSI´s) and multimetric (TRIX´s) indexes were determined in the north coast of the Rio de la Plata (RdlP). The relationships of such indexes with the hydrological, physical and chemical parameters were explored to identify climatic variability or anthropogenic effects on the eutrophication

Previous studies have demonstrated that macro-scale climatic events such as ENSO, cause changes in meteorological and hydrological conditions, inducing physicochemical changes in the water column, as well as in coastal and estuarine communities in the Atlantic Ocean. Rio de la Plata (RdlP) is the second largest estuary of South America, where ENSO is a macro-scale

Esta revisión da un vistazo general a los avances en el estudio de zooplanctongelatinoso en el área del Pacífico Este Tropical. Se inicia con una breve descripción delos principales filos que conforman el zooplancton gelatinoso, Cnidaria y Ctenofora, ysobre la clase Thaliacea, perteneciente al subfilo Urochordata, cuyos integrantes sonfrecuentes en esta zona. Además, se realiza

Marine pollution is an introduction by humans, directly or indirectly, of substances or energy into marine environments (including estuaries) resulting in such deleterious effects as harm to living resources, hazards to human health, hindrance of marine activities including fishing, impairment of quality for use of sea, and reduction of amenities. Eutrophication process or the enrichment
