          Abstract

          Populations of Pseudevadne tergestina were studied in Guanabara Bay, southeastern Brazil, to assess temporal variations in density and population dynamics. Data on temperature, salinity and zooplankton samples were taken from the superficial water of a fixed station, every 3 - 4 days, from February 2 through August 1, 2000. The highest abundance of this species was observed in March, when densities varied widely, from 20 to 600 ind. m-3. Population parameters were calculated, such as birth rate (from 0.25 to 0.90 ind.-1.day-1), growth rate (from -1.30 to 2.09 day-1 ) and death rate ( from -1.6 to 1.9 day-1 ) Start of population could be attributed to the increase of temperature and to the hatching of resting eggs. The population collapsed in fall-winter, as result from the combined effects of different factors: decrease of water temperature (from 27ºC to 21ºC) influencing egg development time (from 2.27 to 3.28 days); predation pressure by chaetognaths (Max. 100 ind. m-3 ) and switch of population from parthenogenic to sexual reproduction. Horizontal transport of water by tidal currents contributed partially to the reduction of population density.

          A variação temporal de densidade e dos parâmetros populacionais de Pseudevadne tergestina foi estudada na Baía de Guanabara. As coletas foram realizadas na superfície de uma estação fixa, a cada 3-4 dias, de fevereiro a agosto de 2000. Os máximos de abundância dessa espécie foram observados em março, com densidades variando de 20 a 600 ind.m-3. Foram calculadas as taxas de nascimento (0,25-0,90 ind.dia-¹), de crescimento (-0,30 -0,90 ind.dia-¹) e de mortalidade (-1,6 - 1,9 dia-1). O início da população pode ser atribuído ao aumento da temperatura e à eclosão dos ovos de resistências. A população entra em colapso no outono - inverno, como conseqüência dos efeitos combinados de diversos fatores: a diminuição da temperatura da água (de 27ºC para 21ºC) influenciando o tempo de desenvolvimento dos ovos (de 2,27 para 3,28 dias), a predação por Chaetognatha cuja densidade alcançou 100 ind.m-3 e a mudança de estratégia reprodutiva de P. tergestina, de partenogênica para gametogênica. O transporte das águas pelas correntes contribui também na redução da densidade populacional dessa espécie.
