摘要：The community structure and dynamics as well as some biological parameters of selected species of the ichthyofauna of the Mataripe estuarine region affected by the Landulfo Alves Oil Refinery (RLAM) were analyzed.Twenty stations were sampled with a gillnet in five different periods: August and December 2003, March and July/August 2004 and January 2005.Thirty-five actinopterygian species and one elasmobranch species were recorded, Oligoplites saurus, Diapterus rhombeus, Lutjanus synagris and Scomberomorus brasiliensis among them, on all the campaigns.A total of 1368 specimens, weighing 36.10 kg, were caught.The ichthyofauna total biomass was greater, in weight, on the eastern side of the study region, especially at the stations close to the shoals/reefs and the rocky bottom.A similar pattern was also observed for the diversity values.In general, low evenness and diversity were observed in the area studied, possibly as a result of the fishing gear used.D.rhombeus juveniles dominated in all but one of the samplings (July 2004), in which latter Cyclichthys spinosus was dominant.Carangids and species associated with consolidated bottoms were observed, although in small numbers, throughout the study period.In spite of the limitations imposed by the gear used for sampling, the estuarine area influenced by the RLAM was seen to play a role as a growth area for the great majority of species, especially the mojarra (D.rhombeus), but it offers no fishing potential due to the prevalence of young and small individuals.Evidence of imminent spawning was recorded for Pomadasys corvinaeformis in August 2003, and recent spawning in March 2004 for Oligoplites saurus.Further, mature individuals occurred in insufficient numbers to permit population level evaluation.
