Temporal fluctuations of nearshore ichthyoplankton off Valparaíso, central Chile, during the ENSO cycle 1997-2000
Between January 1997 and December 2000 daily data of sea surface temperature, sea level height and Ekman transport were taken, together with biweekly and monthly sampling of ichthyoplankton in a coastal station located in Valparaíso Bay. Samples were collected through vertical tows from 50 m depth t...

Samples were collected through vertical tows from 50 m depth to surface with a conical net. From a total of 103 zooplankton samples, 71 samples had positive presence of ichthyoplankton; a total of 10,646 eggs and 1,189 larval fish were separated, corresponding to 6 and 20 taxa, respectively. Eggs specific composition was dominated by Engraulis ringens (35.5%), Merluccius gayi (32.7%) and Sardinops sagax (23.3%).
