PRIMER REGISTRO DE LA CORVINA DE AGUA DULCE Plagioscion ternetzi BOULENGER 1895 (EUPERCARIA: SCIAENIDAE) EN EL RÍO QUEGUAY Y LA CUENCA DEL RÍO URUGUAY

Abstract

In this study we report the first known record for the presence of the sciaenid species Plagioscion ternetzi in the Uruguay River Basin, at the specific location of the Queguay River, 20 km upstream from its mouth into the Lower Uruguay River. This finding extends the currently known distribution of the species in Uruguay (inner Río de la Plata Estuary) approximately 200 km northwards.
