(Sociedade Botânica do Brasil, 2012-12) QUEIROZ, Jislene Brito Matos; SILVA, Nayra Iris Sozinho da; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
The structure of the phytoplankton community of Princesa beach (Maiandeua island) was investigated during a nyctemeral cycle in the months of November/08, March/09, June/09 and September/09 to verify the effects of certain environmental variables on this community. The microphytoplankton of Princesa beach was represented by 98 taxa with the dominance of the diatoms, which were followed by the dinoflagellates and cyanophytes. The qualitative study revealed that Coscinodiscus perforatus Ehrenberg was abundant in March (45.6%) and June (45.1%), whereas in the quantitative analysis Dimeregramma minor (Gregory) Ralfs was dominant, mainly in November/08 (82.0%) and September/09 (83.0%). Biomass (chlorophyll-a content) was significantly higher in March/08 (U= 0.0; p <0.05). The average total phytoplankton density was significantly higher during the rainy period (F= 6.2; p< 0.05), mainly in June (1,223 ±110 x 103 cell L-1). K-dominance curves showed a gradual decrease in diversity along the dry period. Non-Metric Mul

Microfitoplâncton de águas costeiras amazônicas: Ilha Canela (Bragança, PA, Brasil)
(Sociedade Botânica do Brasil, 2008-09) SOUSA, Eliane Brabo de; COSTA, Vanessa Bandeira da; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
Seasonal and nyctemeral variations of the microphytoplankton were studied at a fixed station (00º46'37.2''S-046º43'24.5''W) on Canela Island (North Brazil) in September and December/2004 (dry season) and in March and June/2005 (rainy season). Samples for qualitative phytoplankton studies were obtained by filtering 400 L of surface water in the surf zone of the island through plankton nets (65 μm mesh size). Field work was carried out during spring tides and samples were collected every 3 hours during a 24-hour period. The collected material was fixed in neutral formaldehyde at 4%. Simultaneously, salinity of the water surface was also measured. Salinity showed significant variation throughout the study period, ranging from 26.1 (June/2005) to 39.0 (December/2004), characterizing the environment as euhaline-polyhaline. A total of 130 taxa were identified, belonging to Cyanophyta (two taxa), Bacillariophyta (115 taxa) and Dinophyta (13 taxa). Diatoms were the dominant group of microphytoplankton at Canela Islan

Occurrence of Cymbasoma longispinosum Bourne, 1890 (Copepoda: Monstrilloida) in the Curuçá River estuary (Amazon Littoral)
(2010-09) LEITE, Natália da Rocha; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; ABRUNHOSA, Fernando Araujo; PIRES, Marcus Alexandre Borges; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
The present work was carried out to verify the occurrence and distribution of Cymbasoma longispinosum Bourne, 1890 in a tropical Amazon estuary from North Brazil. Samplings were performed bimonthly from July/2003 to July/2004 at two different transects (Muriá and Curuçá rivers) situated along the Curuçá estuary (Pará, North Brazil). Samples were collected during neap tides via gentle (1 to 1.5 knots) 200 μm-mesh net tows from a small boat. Additional subsurface water samples were collected for the determination of environmental parameters. Males and females of Cymbasoma longispinosum were only observed during September and November/2003. The highest number of organisms was found in September/2003 at the Muriá River transect. The presence of C. longispinosum in samples obtained during September and November/2003 could probably be related to the reproductive period of this species in the studied estuary, which is directly related to the dry period in the region. The highest salinity values and the highest number of individuals observed in September/2003 corroborate with the previous assumption, since no C. longispinosum was found during the months comprising the rainy period (January to June).

Seasonal effects of wastewater to the water quality of the Caeté river estuary, Brazilian Amazon
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010-06) PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; BERNARDI, Marcela Cunha Monteiro; GUIMARÃES, Danielly de Oliveira; QUEIROZ, Jislene Brito Matos; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
Bragança's socioeconomic situation is highly dependent on estuarine and marine biological resources that are influenced by tidal cycles and climatology. Field measurements (hydrological, hydrodynamic and microbiological variables) were taken in the most urbanized zone from Caeté estuary to characterise the quality of the local environment. During the dry period, the estuary was more eutrophic and presented the highest temperature (30.5 °C in Oct./06), salinity (17 psu in Feb./07), pH (8.24 in Feb./07) and fecal coliform (> 1000 MPN/100 ml in Dec./06 and Feb./07) values. The phytoplankton Cyclotella meneghiniana, Coscinodiscus centralis and other r-strategist species were observed. The lack of basic hydric canalization was responsible for the local contamination, especially during the dry period when more concentrated wastewater from the city was emitted into the estuary, showing the human influence on the reduction of local estuarine water quality. In Bragança, the fishery is considered one of the main economic activities so, this contamination is worrisome because a large part of the local economy depends on biological resources and, thus, the contamination could negatively affect the environmental health of this Amazon ecosystem.

Seasonal variation in the copepod community structure from a tropical Amazon estuary, Northern Brazil
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2009-06) MAGALHÃES, André Luiz Perez; LEITE, Natália da Rocha; SILVA, João Gabriel Souza; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the seasonal variation of copepod community structure during the months of July, September and November 2003 (dry season) and January, March and May 2004 (rainy season) in the Curuçá estuary, northern Brazil. Samples were collected during neap tides via gentle 200µm mesh net tows from a small powerboat. Measurements of surface water conductivity were accomplished in situ using an electronic conductivimeter and salinity was later obtained through the transformation of the conductivity values. Salinity varied seasonally from 7.2 ± 0.1 to 39.2 ± 1.8 (mean ± standard deviation) and was influenced mainly by differences in the amount of rainfall between the studied sampling seasons. In total, 30 Copepoda taxa were identified and Acartia tonsa comprised the most representative species throughout the entire studied period followed by Acartia lilljeborgii, Subeucalanus pileatus and Paracalanus quasimodo. In the present study, the density values, ecological indexes and copepod species dominance presented a clear seasonal pattern, showing that the studied area may be considered seasonally heterogeneous in relation to the investigated parameters.

Spatial and temporal distribution in density and biomass of two Pseudodiaptomus species (Copepoda: Calanoida) in the Caeté river estuary (Amazon region - North of Brazil)
(Instituto Internacional de Ecologia, 2006-05) MAGALHÃES, André Luiz Perez; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; RIBEIRO, Marcilenia de Jesus da Silva; LIANG, Tsui Hua
Spatial and temporal density and biomass distribution of the planktonic copepods Pseudodiaptomus richardi and P. acutus along a salinity gradient were investigated in the Caeté River Estuary (North-Brazil) in June and December, 1998 (dry season) and in February and May, 1999 (rainy season). Copepod biomass was estimated using regression parameters based on the relation of dry weight and body length (prosome) of adult organisms. The Caeté River Estuary was characterized by high spatial and temporal variations in salinity (0.8-37.2). Exponential length-weight relationships were observed for both Pseudodiaptomus species. Density and biomass values oscillated between 0.28-46.18 ind. m-3 and 0.0022-0.3507 mg DW. m-3 for P. richardi; and between 0.01-17.02 ind. m-3 and 0.0005-0.7181 mg DW. m-3 for P. acutus. The results showed that the contribution of P. richardi for the secondary production in the Caeté River Estuary is more important in the limnetic zone than in other zones where euhaline-polyhaline regimes were predominant. However, it was not possible to observe a clear pattern of spatial and temporal distribution for P. acutus.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-09) QUEIROZ, Jislene Brito Matos; OLIVEIRA, Suellen Mara Oliveira de; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
The present study aimed to analyze the structure and the temporal variation of the phytoplankton of Ajuruteua beach (Bragança, Pará) and to investigate the influence of environmental variables on the dynamics of this community to provide a basis about the trophic state of this environment. Biological, hydrological and hydrodynamic samplings were performed during a nyctemeral cycle in the months of November/08, March/09, June/09 and September/09. We identified 110 taxa, which were distributed among the diatoms (87.3%), dinoflagellates (11.8%) and cyanobacteria (0.9%), with the predominance of neritic species, followed by the tychoplankton species. Chlorophyll-a concentrations were the highest during the rainy period (24.5 mg m-3), whereas total phytoplankton density was higher in the dry period (1,255 x 103 cell L-1). However, phytoflagellates density was significantly higher during the rainy period. Cluster Analysis revealed the formation of four groups, which were influenced by the monthly differences in the environmental variables. The Principal Component Analysis indicated salinity and chlorophyll-a as the main variables that explained the components. Spearman correlation analysis supported the influence of these variables on the local phytoplankton community. Overall, the results obtained suggest that rainfall and strong local hydrodynamics play an important role in the dynamic of the phytoplankton of Ajuruteua beach, by influencing both environmental and biological variables.

Variação temporal do fitoplâncton e dos parâmetros hidrológicos da zona de arrebentação da Ilha Canela (Bragança, Pará, Brasil)
(Sociedade Botânica do Brasil, 2009-12) SOUSA, Eliane Brabo de; COSTA, Vanessa Bandeira da; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
Seasonal and nyctemeral variations of the phytoplankton and hydrological parameters were studied at a fixed station (00º46'37.2"S-046º43'24.5"W) situated in Canela Island (Bragança-Pará) in September and December, 2004 and in March and June, 2005. Subsurface water samples were taken for qualitative and quantitative phytoplankton studies and to determine chlorophyll a concentrations. Simultaneously physical and chemical parameters were measured: salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and percent of oxygen saturation. A total of 64 taxa belonging to Cyanophyta (one taxon), Bacillariophyta (54 taxa) and Dinophyta (nine taxa) were identified. Chlorophyll a concentrations ranged from 4.67 mg m-3 (dry season), to 5.44 mg m-3 (rainy season) and follow phytoplankton densities, which were higher during the rainy period (mean values of 1,870 x 103 cell L-1). Phytoflagellates quantitatively dominated the local phytoplanktonic community followed by diatoms. Dimeregramma minor and Skeletonema sp. were abundant and ve
