Resumen:
Nahuel
Huapi is a large (area = 557 km2) and deep (Zmax = 464 m)
lake in the Andean Patagonian Region of Argentina. Although the trophic state
is oligotrophic, periphyton growth is important in some zones of the shore due
to nutrient inputs from the surrounding city. Periphyton community is
considered as a sensitive indicator of trophic changes in freshwater and for
this reason is a useful tool to detect the first signs of eutrophication. The
results from sampling the periphyton community in different areas of the lake
will be discussed.
