“…Although the residence time of the water in the estuary was not measured in this study, the river discharge is of importance in its regulation; during periods of peak discharges of its tributaries (of 41,000 m 3 s À1 ), residence time is about 73 days, while for periods of lesser discharge (22,000 m 3 s À1 ) it reaches 136.5 days (Menéndez, 2002;Silva et al, 2013). This factor is considered by Ferreira et al (2005) as a diversity regulator since it is related to the capacity of algal species to divide faster than they are washed away; hence species composition is at least partly determined by estuarine physics.…”

“…The tidal freshwater zone, in which our study area is located, has depths lesser than 5 m and covers an area of about 13,000 km 2 (Mianzan et al, 2001;Acha et al, 2008). Over 97% of the water discharge to the Río de la Plata is provided by the Uruguay river (4600-5300 m 3 s À1 ) and Paraná river, formed by two tributaries, Paraná Guazú and Paraná de las Palmas, discharging between 17,000 and 21,700 m 3 s À1 ; the latter remains constrained along the straight edge of the southern shore (called Franja Costera Sur) of the Río de la Plata (FREPLATA, 2005;Silva et al, 2013).…”

“…Más del 97% del caudal de agua en el Río de la Plata es proporcionada por el río Uruguay (4.600-5.300 m 3 s -1 ) y el río Paraná, formado por dos tributarios, Paraná Guazú y Paraná de las Palmas, descargando entre 17.000 m 3 s -1 y 21.700 m 3 s -1 ; este último baña la Franja Costera Sur (FREPLATA, 2005;Silva et al, 2013). El caudal de estos ríos presenta una baja estacionalidad, con un pico máximo en otoño que disminuye hacia la primavera cuando se registran los menores caudales (Nagy et al, 2002a).…”

“…Estos patrones de descargas muestran picos de variabilidad en escalas de tiempo interanuales asociadas con los ciclos ENSO (El Niño-Oscilación Sur), que inducen inundaciones (fase cálida) o sequías (fase fría) con una variación de hasta 80.000 m 3 s -1 entre ciclos húmedos y secos extremos, El Niño y La Niña, respectivamente (Clara et al, 2014). Durante los períodos de mayores descargas de sus tributarios el tiempo de residencia del agua es de unos 73 días, mientras que para los CAPÍTULO 2 -METODOLOGÍAS Y ÁREA DE ESTUDIO Página29 períodos de menores descargas el tiempo de residencia alcanza los 136,5 días (Menéndez, 2002;Silva et al, 2013).…”
