We provide the first list of the ichthyofauna from the Ajó river, a water course situated at the southward border of the Samborombón bay (36°20'12"’ S, 56°54'17" W), a RAMSAR site in Argentina. These results were obtained bi-monthly along two years. Forty-five species belonging to 26 families and 11 orders were identified. This fish fauna is composed by freshwater, euryhaline and marine species. Richest groups were Perciformes and Characiformes, with 10 species each. A single species, Micropogonias furnieri (whitemouth croaker), represented morethan 70 % of the captured specimens, being juvenile individuals only. Remaining species were also represented by juvenile specimens, confirming the importance of this environment as nursery area, particularly for the whitemouth croaker.

Abstract. We report on the hydrologic and morphologic setting of the Samborombón Bay, Argentina, which is expected at the end of the 21st century as a consequence of possible scenarios of relative sea level rise (RSLR). The geomorphological analysis of the Samborombón coastland points out only minor changes occurred over the last 40 yr. The modifications are mainly related to the construction of canals to enhance the floodplain drainage. A digital elevation model (DEM) obtained by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data archive, ad hoc calibrated/validated for the study area, highlights that about 3000 km2 of coastal plain present a morphological setting at high risk of sea flooding. The analysis of sea level and storm surge events recorded from 1905 to 2010 in Buenos Aires provides the RSLR rate and the return period of extreme floods. In addition, vertical land movements (VLM) measured by the permanent GPS stations of Buenos Aires and La Plata allow for the quantification of the eustatic component of the RSLR and estimating a plausible RSLR rate in the Samborombón Bay. Taking into account possible RSLR scenarios at the end of 2100 as resulting from the statistical analysis of (i) tide gauge and GPS time series and (ii) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predictions, the potential effect of the increased sea level on the Samborombón coastland is simulated. The results show that the combined rise of sea levels, surficial waters and groundwater will lead to a new morpho-hydrologic setting of the coastal area, especially in the low-lying southern sector. Here, a coastline retreat up to 40 km is expected, with temporary submersion up to 4000 km2 during storm surges.

Hydrochemical and isotopic indicators were used to improve diagnosis in an area where the outcrops of the hydrogeological units were previously defined. Environmental isotopes (18 Oxygen, Deuterium and Tritium) have been applied while interpretation with both tools (Chlorides-18 Oxygen) was done as well. The use of this kind of tracers allowed us to settle the hydrodynamic mechanisms, specially the recharge zones with nearly 10 TU values and how underground discharge occurs in lowlands, beach, Samborombon Bay and Samborombon River. Looking for a compatibility between hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry with those hydrogeological parameters, multivariate analysis was used. A matrix of 14 characters for 8 groups and 10 characters for 21 samples yielded correlation levels up to .98 and are shown through phenograms and principal components diagrams.

The objective of this work was determinate the diversity and abundance of benthic foraminifers from recent sediments of Channel 15, Samborombón Bay (35º57´–35º58´S and 57º25´–57º22´W). From this analysis, we identified 31 species grouped within 17 genera. The assemblages were composed mainly of hyaline and agglutinated forms characterized by Elphidium aff. poeyanum, Elphidium gunteri, Ammonia parkinsoniana, Arenoparella mexicana and Trochammina inflata, reflecting an environment of marsh or floodplain. The foraminifer’s tests were generally well preserved, with morphologies that indicate predominantly epifauna and epifauna-infauna. The present work shows that despite having a general fauna characteristic of these environments, there are small microenvironments that are characterized by the state of preservation, diversity and abundance of the found specimens. In that context, three associations were recognized; A, dominated by Astrononion sp.1 that was registered in the central part of the channel; association B, characterized mainly by E. aff. poeyanum that was founded in the internal and external areas of the channel and association C, characterized by a considerable increase of mentioned agglutinated species (close to 50%) registered in the center of the channel. This study represents one of the first contributions on the distribution of foraminifera and their ecological characteristics from recent sediments in Samborombón Bay.
