“…During this period, the area was influenced by an estuarine indicator group (Parvocalanus crassirostris, Acartia lilljeborgi, Euterpina acutifrons, Oithona oswaldocruzi). This same group was reported by Neumann- Leitão et al, (1992) and Silva et al (2004) in Suape reef area in Pernambuco State during the rainy season. In contrast, the dry season brought very little rainfall (<50 mm), and was characterized by some intrusion from the oligotrophic North of Brazil Current, the North branch from the South Equatorial Current.…”

“…After the implantation of the Suape Industrial Port Complex in Pernambuco State (Brazil), there was a strong decrease in the phytoplankton density due to high amount of suspended matter (Koening et al, 2003). Modifications of this basin also changed the species composition and trophic structure (Silva et al, 2004). The present study did not observe the presence of microbiological seawater contamination associated with the harbor construction at Pecém.…”

“…Considerando que desde la puesta en marcha del Complejo Industrial Portuario de Suape, iniciada en 1979, el área estuarina ha sufrido diversas intervenciones humanas trayendo consecuencias dañinas para una gran variedad de grupos florísticos y faunísticos (Koening et al 2003, Silva et al 2004, y debido que existe una posible perspectiva de más alteraciones ambientales con la instalación de otros emprendimientos de porte (refinaría petrolífera, astillero y muelle de navíos cargueros), aumentando así el flujo de embarcaciones de la Bahía de Suape, se planteo la realización del presente estudio. Se estudió cualitativamente la macrofauna bentónica presente en los sustratos sólidos en un gradiente de altura de mareas del estuario del río Massangana, Bahía de Suape, para servir de testimonio de la fauna presente en el área y subsidiar futuros monitoreos biológicos en relación a los eventuales cambios ambientales.…”

. 2009. Vertical zonation of the hard substrata macrofauna of the Massangana River estuary, Suape Bay (Pernambuco, Brazil). Biota Neotrop. 9(1): http://www.biotaneotropica. org.br/v9n1/en/abstract?article+bn01609012009. Abstract:The estuarine area of the Massangana River (Pernambuco, Brazil) undergoes several kinds of interventions as a result of the activities of the Suape Industrial and Harbor Complex, which could affect local biotic communities. Thus, this study aimed to verify the composition of the benthic macrofauna of hard substrates regarding their vertical distribution in order to support the future biomonitoring of possible changes in this complex. The invertebrates found in an area of 519 m 2 were collected and their distribution on the biogenic and abiogenic substrates was described. A total of 79 species were found, primarily in the mangroves and distributed in three intertidal zones: a Chthamaletum, which comprised the intertidal and upper shore, the balanid zone, with barnacles and oysters in the mid intertidal, and the Bostrychietum, in the lowest region. In general, this matched the Brazilian and international vertical distribution patterns for mangrove invertebrates. The presence of rocky substrate and the area's high salinity made possible the occurrence of 28 species-including the coral Siderastrea stellata -in an estuarine area. The enlarged distribution of the bivalve Isognomon alatus, the barnacle Amphibalanus reticulatus, and the bryozoans Biflustra savartii, Bowerbankia gracilis, and Conopeum reticulum on the Brazilian coast can be explained by the proximity to the Port of Suape, which allows for passive transportation on ships. The scattered distribution of the fouling organisms among the substrates and the absence of characteristic animals of this ecosystem (such as the mussels) suggest that the environment is already undergoing some stress due to the diverse human interventions occurring in this area. Keywords: spatial distribution, macrobenthos, mangrove, biodiversity, Northeast Brazil. Resumen: El área estuarina del río Massangana (Pernambuco, Brasil) está sujeta a diversas intervenciones antropomórficas resultantes de las actividades del Complejo Industrial y Portuario de Suape, que pueden afectar las comunidades bióticas. Con esa perspectiva, este estudio tuvo como finalidad verificar la composición de la macrofauna bentónica de los sustratos sólidos, en su gradiente de distribución vertical, que sirva de referencia para futuros monitoreos biológicos relacionados a los cambios que pueden ocurrir en el complejo portuario. Se colectaron los invertebrados presentes en un área de 519 m 2 y su distribución en los sustratos biogénicos y abiogénicos es mostrada en el siguiente trabajo. Fueron encontradas 79 especies presentes principalmente en los mangles y distribuidas en tres zonas del intermareal: Chthamaletum, delimitando el supralitoral, "zona balanoide", conteniendo cirripedios y ostras, en la región intermareal media, y el Bostrychietum, en la región inferior. Esta distribución co...
