The southern Brazilian coast is the major fishery ground for the Brazilian sardine (Sardinella
brasiliensis), a species responsible for up to 40% of marine fish catches in the region. Fish …

A close examination of the coral disease literature reveals many hypothesized mechanisms
for how coral disease may be linked to climate change. However, evidence has been largely …

Esta obra científica vem felizmente preencher a carência de materiais didáticos para os

Historical hydrographic data from the continental shelf off eastern South America are used to
examine the thermohaline properties of the water masses in the region between 20° S and …

This article discusses the results of a suite of numerical simulations of the oceanic circulation
in the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf region that are aimed to characterize its mean circulation …

Satellite ocean color and surface salinity data are used to characterize the space–time
variability of the Río de la Plata plume. River outflow and satellite wind data are also used to …

We examined the changes in composition of fish assemblages for all seasons in the Rı́o de
la Plata estuary (36° S, 56° W), and identified the parameters that control the main …

The waters dominating the Brazilian Continental Shelf to the south of Santa Marta Cape (28°
40′ S) are marked by their strong interannual variability. Both the seasonal oscillation of …

This article analyzes the barotropic circulation in the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf using a
three‐dimensional numerical model forced with winds and tides. South of 40° S, the shelf …

Subtropical convergence regions in the southwestern Atlantic have a high biological
