| Spanish abstract | En el golfo de Guayaquil se concentra la mayor actividad pesquera y acuícola del Ecuador; sin embargo, la carga de nutrientes provenientes de actividades antrópicas, afectaría la calidad del agua y diversidad de recursos pesqueros. Con el propósito de determinar el estado trófico de la zona costera y estuario interior, se recolectaron muestras de agua superficial, para medir temperatura, salinidad, oxígeno disuelto, nutrientes y microfitoplancton. Además, se establecieron relaciones entre las variables hidrográficas mediante un Análisis de Componentes Principales (ACP) y entre éstas con el microfitoplancton a través del Análisis de Redundancia (ADR). Las diferencias en estructura comunitaria se determinaron mediante el Escalamiento Multidimensional no Métrico (MDS) y Análisis de Similaridad (ANOSIM), y el estado trófico empleando el índice Karydis. Se detectaron diferencias significativas entre la zona costera y estuario interior, registrando este último mayor temperatura y concentración de nutrientes, menor salinidad, transparencia, concentración de oxígeno disuelto y el nivel trófico más elevado. Se identificaron 178 especies de microfitoplancton, de las cuales 78% fueron diatomeas, 18% dinoflagelados, 2% cianofitas y 2% silicoflagelados. Se detectaron diferencias significativas en equitatividad y diversidad, con menores registros en la zona estuarina. El ADR mostró una correlación positiva (0.54; p<0.05) entre Paralia sulcata, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Thalassionema frauendeldianum con los nutrientes y negativa con salinidad. En el estuario interno se correlacionaron positivamente (0.64; p<0.05) Nitzschia longissima, Chaetoceros decipiens y Skeletonema costatum con temperatura y en forma inversa con fosfato y nitrato. Se registraron diferencias en la estructura comunitaria entre zonas, predominando S. costatum, T. fraunfeldianum y T. nitzschioides en el estuario interior y N. longissima, Guinardia striata y Leptocylindrus dan |
| English abstract | Most fishing and aquaculture activity in Ecuador is concentrated in the Gulf of Guayaquil. However, the nutrient loads from anthropic activities could affect the water quality and the diversity of fishery resources. Surface water samples were collected to determine the temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and the community structure of microphytoplankton to determine the trophic status of the coastal zone and the inner estuary. In addition, the relation between the hydrographic variables was established through principal component analysis (PCA), and redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to analyze the effect of the environmental variables on the microphytoplankton communities. Differences in community structure were determined using multidimensional scaling analysis of similarities (MDS-Anosim), and the trophic status was established through the Karydis index. Significant differences were detected between the coastal zone and the inner estuary. Overall, the inner estuary showed a higher trophic level, with higher temperature and nutrient concentrations, and lower values for the salinity, transparency, and dissolved oxygen. Seventeen species of microphytoplankton were identified, of which 78% were diatoms, 18% dinoflagellates, 2% cyanophytes, and 2% silicoflagellates. Significant differences were detected in equitability and diversity, with fewer records in the estuarine area. The RDA showed a positive correlation (0.54; p <0.05) between Paralia sulcata, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Thalassionema frauenfeldii and nutrients and a negative correlation with salinity. In the inner estuary, Nitzschia longissima, Chaetoceros decipiens, and Skeletonema costatum were positively correlated (0.64; p <0.05) with temperature and negatively correlated with phosphate and nitrate. Differences in the community structure existed between zones, with S. costatum, T. frauenfeldii, and T. nitzschioides dominating the inner estuary and N. longissima, Guinardia stri |
