Resumen:
The role of the seasonal and semi-diurnal tidal cycle on mesozooplankton dynamics was investigated in the inner zone of the Bahıa Blanca Estuary (BBE), Argentina. Hydrological data and mesozooplankton samples were obtained bimonthly from December 2004 to April 2006, during 14 h tidal cycles. The mesozooplankton community was represented by 33 taxa. Taxa richness was greater near the bottom, where the contribution of benthic forms was notable. Abundances were greatest during summer (>5500 ind. m-3) and lowest during winter (
