<abstract>The Humboldt Current System is one the large and highly productive upwelling ecosystems of the world ocean. In the coastal upwelling system of northern and central/south of Chile a data base of marine zooplankton has been created after more than 15 years of study. Samples collections are available from 18º S to 36º S. This zooplankton sustains a strong fishery economy in Chile mostly based on small pelagic fishes, such as anchovies and sardines. Zooplankton species have been identified with help from well-known experts for copepod and euphausiid taxonomy. Many samples from other taxa are available and their identification is under progress. It is thus expected that the data base for zooplankton of the Pacific sub-node will continuously grow in the next few months.</abstract>

<abstract>"Macrobenthic species of the Eastern South Pacific" In response to the characteristics of the various water masses involved, diverse soft-bottom communities occur under the Hulboldt Current System. While the shelf exhibits communities dominated by a variety of eukaryotes living under the oxic sub-Antarctic waters, beneath it a very diverse prokaryote-dominated system is found, in particular during the long inter-El Niño periods, under the hypoxic Sub-equatorial waters and within sulfide-rich sediments. Further down, normoxic Intermediate and Pacific Deep waters allow for a most varied benthic fauna where oasis of methane-seep dependent communities are also found. The collections here reported originate from samples taken during the development of FONDECYT Project 950001 (1996-97), the "MinOx" Cruise (Oxygen Minimum Zone cruise) to northern Chile of March 2000 and the German SONNE (PUCK) Expedition of 2001 along the Chilean margin (20 – 42o) and in the range of 20-2000m. Polychaeta was the numerically dominant group at all areas and depths, followed by peracarid crustaceans and small mollusks. This list includes some new species and many new records in the bathyal zone.</abstract>

<abstract>PATACHE: Project Financed by the mining company Doña Inés de Collahuasi. Characterization of the structure of phytoplanktónic community present in the zone of the port, mining project Collahuasi. The studies related to the characterization of the phytoplanktonic community in Patache sector began with the elaboration of a line base to evaluate the possible impact that there would cause in the system the activities involved in the Project Collahuasi. The results allowed detecting a community structure similar to described for other coastal zones. Besides, there was detected a composition of species, abundance and biomass, typical of a phytoplankton of systems influenced by events of upwelling, where the domineering group is that of the diatomeas. The variability of the upwelling governs significantly the behavior sucessional of the phytoplankton, which meets reflected during the different analyzed epochs. In base of the previous thing, the knowledge of the fluctuations of the phytoplankton in the time and spatially, is fundamental to understand the possible changes that it can suffer for action antropogenic. The execution of monitorings allows to establish this way the variations " normal or not " that could suffer this complex group. CHIPANA 2003: Internal project DI05-03 (Financed by the Direction of Investigation of the University Arturo Prat). Variability to mesoscale of the physical and chemical structure that modulates the processes of fertilization, concentration and food availability in an area of spawning of Engraulis ringens (21°15'S - 21°21'S) during the maximum reproductive period. Considering the precedents of the adjacent zone to the Loa river, as an area of retention of eggs and larval of Engraulis ringens, the present project tries to analyze this reproductive habitat depending on the factors that would distinguish it like favorably for the development of the first stage of this species. On the base of the previous thing there will be characterized the patterns of circulation of the zone and the physical structure and chemistry associated with the variability of the winds and to the intensity of the processes of outcrop. The response of the phytoplankton will be evaluated and zooplankton to the physical scenario, across the measurement of the fluctuations space-temporal to improve abundances and biomasses in different fractions of size. With the available information the structure of the component ictioplanktonic will be analyzed, establishing if there are fulfilled the suitable conditions that determine this zone as an area of spawning and breeding depending on the triad of factors. CHIPANA 2004-2005: Internal project DIF22/04 (Financed by the Direction of Investigation of the University Arturo Prat). Program of follow-up and evaluation of the conditions bioceanographics and early stages of Engraulis ringens in one of the principal areas of spawning of the north of Chile: Bay Chipana (21°20'S). On the base of the information obtained during 2003 we propose a program of monitoring of the environmental conditions that favor the presence and high concentration of larval in the zone of the Loa river, depending on the quality and quantity of the food. Monthly we will realize the samplings on three stations (1, 3 and 5 mn of the coast) where there will be obtained vertical profiles of temperature and salinity. Besides, there will be characterized the chemical and biological structure of the water column, across the measurements of oxygen dissolved and nutrients, and the composition and abundance and biomass of fractions autotrofic and heterotrofic, putting emphasis in all the forms that constitute an article nourishing for the larval of anchoveta.</abstract>

<abstract>Seasonal and interannual changes in the flux of planktic foraminifera were studies in the Humboldt Current System off Coquimbo (30°S, 73°,15W), using material collected by time series sediment traps located at 2300 m water depth and 100 nautical miles from the coast. The almost continuous record span 8 years (1991-1998) with a temporal resolution of 6-13 days. Field work was carried out during the El Niño event of 1991/1992 (6 months), under normal conditions in 1993/1994 (1 years) and the strong 1997-1998 had only a limited impact on the planktic foraminifer flux. The seasonal fluxpattern of planktic foraminifera was marked by high fluxes during austral late winter–early summer (August–January) and low fluxes during the fall–early winter period (March–July). Five species contributed ca. 90% of the total flux of planktic foraminifers: Globigerina bulloides, Neogloboquadrina incompta, N. pachyderma, N. dutertrei, and Globigerinella calida. The most significant El Niño-related signal was a remarkable increase in the flux and abundance of species that, under normal conditions, only accounted for 10% of the planktic foraminiferal assemblage.</abstract>

<abstract>The Ecuadorian sea is characterized for being a zone of oceanic convergence among hot waters proceeding from the Gulf of Panama and cold waters of Humboltd's Current from the south of the continent. The Equatorial Front formed among these two types of water moves to different height of the continental coast and of Galápagos according to the season of the year. The distribution and abundance of the planktonic organisms in the Ecuadorian sea is related to the position of this Front and to coastal and oceanic outcrops. In this document they present information of planktonic foraminíferos from 1973 in an area included between 01°22'N and 03 ° 16'N. Also of larval of fishes and foraminíferos in a point of the coast 81 ° 05'W and 02 °. 04'S from 1997 to 2000. The samplings of zooplankton have been realized in superficial and sub-superficial waters. Between the species mentioned in this base of information, species of the zooplankton are distinguished (foraminíferos planktonic) warning from water masses and larval of fishes of economic importance (pelagic small fish) for Ecuador. The intention of this work is to contribute to the knowledge of the existing biodiversity in Ecuadorian waters, for which the number of species expects to increase, in this base of information, zooplancktonic which abundance and distribution has been studied by different specialists in this part of the Tropical Pacific Oriental sea.</abstract>

<abstract>The Equatorial Region of the Eastern South Pacific across Ecuador (1°N – 3°S) is characterized by the influence of tropical waters from the north and sub-tropical surface waters from the south, giving rise to the Equatorial Front during the austral winter. However during the dry season (June to August), when southerly winds become more intense, the cold Humboldt Current may also influence the area around 2°S over the coastal zone of Ecuador, while the front becomes weak and constrained to the south. The whole area is also subjected to strong inter-annual variation driven by the ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) cycle. The pelagic fauna in this region is highly diverse, but little studied. Among planktonic components, the crustacean copepods dominate both coastal and oceanic areas. This growing data base is an attempt to build a unique platform to describe, identify and count this important taxonomic group of this region.</abstract>
