          Abstract

          La zona costera del mar interior de la Décima Región, incluyendo principalmente el Seno de Reloncaví, es un área que desde que se instalaron los primeros habitantes en sus alrededores ha sido impactada por aguas residuales domésticas e industriales, así como también por la actividad agrícola, forestal y acuícola en los últimos 10 años. La zona costera de la bahía de Puerto Montt ha sido poco estudiada, sobre todo cuando se intenta evaluar el estado actual de las condiciones ambientales y más aún cuando se pretende conocer los posibles impactos que se estén generando con posterioridad a la instalación del emisario submarino de aguas servidas. El presente estudio pretende obtener un diagnóstico del estado de contaminación bacteriológica de la bahía de Puerto Montt, a través del índice de coliformes fecales. Se fijaron 5 estaciones de muestreo en la costa y 6 en aguas más profundas de la bahía, paralelas a la costa. Las muestras de la costa se tomaron en forma mensual y las de aguas profundas de la bahía, en forma estacional. Para el análisis bacteriológico de las muestras de agua se usó el método de los tubos múltiples (NMP), método cuantitativo que permite estimar la población de bacterias coliformes fecales presentes en el agua, inoculando series de 5 tubos en diluciones decrecientes de la muestra a medios de cultivos adecuados. Para el estudio de la información se aplicó un análisis de varianza paramétrico, el test de tukey y el test t de Student. La contaminación bacteriológica muestra rangos de coliformes fecales estacionales entre <2 y 1700 y mensuales entre 2 y >16000 NMP Cf/100 ml. Finalmente, se puede señalar, que la población de coliformes fecales en la Bahía de Puerto Montt se ha mantenido en relación a reportes anteriores. Sin embargo se considera imprescindible el monitoreo continuado del emisario, así como el estudio detenido de la oceanografía del Seno de Reloncaví, del cual se han realizado algunos registros mediante oceanografía satelital

          The coastal area of the interior sea of the Tenth Region, including the Reloncaví Sound, is an area that since the first inhabitants settled down in their surroundings it has been impacted by domestic and industrial wastewater, as well as for agricultural, forestry and fish farming activities in the last 10 years. The coastal area of the bay of Puerto Montt has been little studied, mainly when someone tries to evaluate the current state of the environmental conditions and further more, when pretending to know the possible impacts generated after the installation of a submarine wastewater diffuser. The present study seeks to obtain a diagnosis of the state of bacteriological contamination of the bay of Puerto Montt, by using the faecal coliform index. Five sampling stations in the coast and six in deeper waters of the bay were established, the last six parallel to the first ones. Sampling in the coastal stations was performed monthly and seasonally in deep waters stations of the bay. For the bacteriological analysis of the water samples, the multiple tubes method was used (MPN), a quantitative method that allows to estimate the population of faecal coliforms bacteria present in the water, by inoculating series of 5 tubes in decreasing dilutions of the sample into proper cultivation media. For the analysis of the information, parametric variance analysis, Tukey test and test “t” of Student were performed. The bacteriological contamination shows ranges of seasonal faecal coliforms between <2 and 1700 and monthly between 2 and >16000 NMP fc/100 ml. Finally, it can be point out that the population of faecal coliforms in the bay of Puerto Montt has remained stable in relation to previous reports. However, it is considered essential to continue with the monitoring of the submarine wastewater diffuser, as well as the detailed study of the oceanography of the Reloncaví Sound, of which they have been obtained some records by means of satellite oceanography
