Resumen:
Using a bomb calorimeter we assessed the energy density of the main species of Patagonian
freshwater ecosystems, including fish, crustaceans, gastropods, oligochaetes, and insects. Fish
(5048-5789 Cal/g) were the most energy density group followed by insects (5062-5232),
crustaceans (3364-3994), oligochaetes (3471), and gastropods (1143). These data consist on
the first direct energy density estimations of freshwater species and are intended as baseline
information for modelling the energy fluxes in Patagonian freshwater ecosystems.
