The Bahía Blanca Estuary

Abstract

This chapter describes the main biological traits and life cycles of the three shrimp species (Crustacea, Decapoda) present in the Bahía Blanca Estuary, which were selected because of their ecological and economic relevance. Two of these species belong to the Superfamily Penaeoidea, the Argentinean red shrimp Pleoticus muelleri (Family Solenoceridae) and the stiletto shrimp Artemesia longinaris (Family Penaeidae), both of which are targets for the local artisanal fishery. The third species is a small shrimp, which belongs to the Superfamily Sergestoidea: Peisos petrunkevitchi (Family Sergestidae) which plays an important ecological role in coastal food webs. Adults of these species seasonally migrate offshore with reproductive purposes. Fertilization and spawning, as well as larval and postlarval development, occur in deep waters out of the estuary, where abiotic factors, mainly salinity, are more constant and resemble those of the continental shelf. Shrimp life cycle completes when juveniles migrate into the estuary, which provides shelter and abundant food resources to achieve the adult stage. Fishing of commercial species in the estuary has strong seasonal and inter-annual oscillations. Analysis of long time series of landing data suggests that seasonal fluctuations may be related to the reproductive behavior, while inter-annual variability may respond to climatic conditions.
