RESUMOEste estudo tem por objetivo verificar a distribuição das características dos sedimentos de fundo do Complexo Estuarino de Paranaguá, fazendo uma síntese integrada dos dados. As análises foram embasadas em 1.187 amostras coletadas entre os anos de 1988 e 2001. Este Complexo Estuarino é composto por dois eixos principais, denominados baía das Laranjeiras (N-S) e de Paranaguá (L-O). Os resultados obtidos destacam diferenças entre as características dos sedimentos das referidas baías. O diâmetro médio granulométrico da baía das Laranjeiras é maior que na baía de Paranaguá, com grau de seleção semelhante em ambas, exceto a baía de Guaraqueçaba. A distribuição das porcentagens de carbonato biodetrítico (CaCO 3 ) varia entre 5 e 20%, enquanto que a quantidade de matéria orgânica varia entre 0 e 35% no CEP.Palavras-chave: sedimentos de fundo, sedimentologia, Paranaguá, Laranjeiras, baía. ABSTRACTThis study aims to describe the bottom sediments distribution on the Paranaguá Bay Complex, a synthesizing of the available data. Between 1988 and 2001 1.187 samples were obtained, which were used in this analysis. The CEP is compose by two main axis denominated Laranjeiras bay (N-S) and Paranaguá bay (E-W). The main results shown differences between bottom sediments characteristics of both bays, where the mean grain size on Laranjeiras bay is bigger than on Paranaguá bay, and selection coefficient is near to the same in both bays, except on Guaraqueçaba bay. The quantities of carbonate vary between 5 and 20%, and organic matter varies between 0 and 35% on the CEP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
