Abstract

Data on the fish populations of lentic water bodies of the Lower Paraná River in the Diamante and San Pedro areas (33°40′–31°55′ S, 59°40'–60°40′ W), sampled during 1971 are given. Limnological characteristics such as surface area and depth of ponds, water turbidity, and plant cover are included. Differences in fish population size, structure, specific diversity, dominance, and biomass of particular species are established between two areas in a dry season.
