Resumen:
The hetrotrophic dinoflagellates are key protists in the transfer of energy in the pelagic ecosystem. Heterotrophic didagella.t es. are predators on some phytoplankton and microzooplankton organisms and even, on copepods eggs and early naupliar stages. They are in turn important prey for micro and metazoa zooplankters, inclusive they can be predators on some phytoplankton and microzooplankton organism and even, on copepods eggs and early naupliar stages. Oceanographic parameters and biological samples were taken on the Bahía blsanca estuary  to study the occurrence and abundande of the dinoflagellate gyrodinium fusus (Meunier). It was found a possible trophic coupling between G. fusus and some phytoplankton species during the study period. The finding of G.fusus in the estuary enlarges its geographical distribution in the Argentina coast.
