Todos os Santos Bay, having an area of approximately 927 km2, is the largest Bay on the Brazilian coast. Four sampling surveys, in two rainy and two dry periods, were made at five locations of Todos os Santos Bay, Bahia, Brazil, aiming to identify environmental and ecotoxicological correlates of ichthyoplankton assemblage structure. The study area showed a community characterised by the domination of Engraulididae, Gobiidae (Gobionellus spp.), Gerreidae (Diapterus spp. and Eucinostomus spp.) and Carangidae (Oligoplites spp. and Caranx spp.) larvae. There wasn't a significant difference in composition of fish larvae between the sampling periods, but there was a significant temporal variability in the most important environmental variables. The results showed statistically significant differences between northern stations and the control site, only for ammonium-nitrogen and total fish larvae density. The environmental variables (temperature, ammonium-nitrogen, oil and grease and chlorophyll a) explained 94.7% of the variation of the larval fish assemblage. |
