Resumen:
Satellite imagery was used to gain knowledge on spatial distribution, over afine spatial seale, of the small Patagonian oetopus and to relate it with environmental variables of signifieanee (Iow tide line and extension of the roeky shore). Detailed spatial loeations of oetopus were reeorded with differential GPS during eoastaI surveys performed during 2005-2007. Coastalline of the study area was redrawn from remotesensed CBERS images. Distanees from oetopus loeations to the near point of the low tide line were eaIculated. This allowed us to identify a seasonal pattern and evaluate the way in whieh this distanee intluenees oetopus distribution.
