In southern Brazil, cold (La Niña) and warm (El Niño) episodes of the El Niño Southern
Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon cause drought and high rainfall, respectively. The low …

High rainfall associated with El Niño events significantly increases runoff and stream

In the shallow microtidal Patos Lagoon estuary, southern Brazil (32° 07′ S–52° 06′ W),
chlorophyll a (Chl a) variability was studied at different time scales during the last 25 years …

Extensive mud deposits superimposed on the predominantly sandy inner continental shelf
adjacent to the Patos Lagoon estuary, indicates that the Lagoon is a potential source of fine …

One hundred and twenty-four fishing areas were identified and georeferenced according to
fishermen's traditional ecological knowledge. Nearly 80% of the designations of the fishing …

and pollutants, and the increasing need of offering safe navigation conditions in the Patos …

Based on biological and meteorological long-term database (1979-1983 and 1996-2000),
we analyzed the variation in the juvenile recruitment and artisanal fishery landings of the …
