Puerto Galvan (Fig. 1) is one of the five harbors that form the BahiaBlanca Harbor System, the largest and deepest of Argentina. The harbors areall located along the Canal Principal of the Bahia Blanca Estuary, amesotidal, coastal plain environment (Perillo, 1995) formed by a series ofmajor NW-SE trending channels separating extensive tidal flats, low saltmarshes and islands. The geomorphology and physical characteristics of theestuary are described in detail elsewhere (Perillo and Piccolo, 1999)including a recent review of its major environmental features (Perillo et al.,2000).
