“…The dominance of silt fractions indicates reduced bottom water hydrodynamic conditions (Teodoro et al, 2010). Low currents activity prevails in practically all lagoons of SLS, except in Saquarema Lagoon where the hydrodynamics seems to be more intense.…”

“…Domestic sewage contains high concentrations of pollutants, including suspended solids, organics, and nutrients, which can cause a large amount of damage to marine environments (Teodoro et al, 2010). Bacteria are the most abundant and diverse group of organisms living in wastewater (Despland et al, 2012;Yu et al, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT. The diversity of microbiota in waste waters has not been thoroughly examined, despite the potential impact of microbes on effluent quality. Wastewater microbial communities harbor pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites. To study microbial communities in domestic sewage outfalls, 454 pyrosequencing technology was used to investigate the composition of microbial communities associated with municipal wastewater during different seasons sampled over the course of one year. A total of 195,103 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained from 20 samples. The R software was used to calculate the number of indices describing the alpha diversity associated with each bacterial assemblage. In this study, the a-diversity index (Hꞌ, D, J), in which higher numbers represent more diversity, was found to change with seasonal cycle. The diversity of bacterial assemblages was high Microbial communities in sewage outfalls in all samples, indicating that species diversity was also very high. The taxonomic composition of the assemblages varied considerably among samples, with some dominated by Proteobacteria, while others were dominated by Bacteroidetes or Firmicutes. In 2 samples, the relative prevalence of Proteobacteria exceeded 90%. α-Proteobacteria, b-proteobacteria, and g-proteobacteria represented 90% or more of all Proteobacteria. The present characterization of wastewater from five sewage outfalls indicated the presence of some pathogenic bacteria. The g-Proteobacteria in sewage wastefalls identified in this study included Enterobacteriaceae, Vibrionaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Salmonella, Yersinia, Vibrio, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

“…The commercial harbor at São Sebastião, an oil terminal (Dutos e Terminais Centro Sul -DTCS) (Zanardi et al 1999), and two submarine outfalls (one on the mainland, near the harbor at the Araçá Bay, and another at Saco da Capela, in Ilhabela municipality) have increasingly contributed to local contamination by chemical compounds. Furthermore, much attention has been given to this area due to an expansion of the harbor at São Sebastião, which requires information about environmental impact to marine ecosystems at the region (Teodoro et al 2010).…”

The north coast of the São Paulo State, Brazil, presents great bivalve diversity, but knowledge about these organisms, especially species living subtidally, remains scarce. Based on collections made between 2010 and 2012, the present work provides a species list of bivalves inhabiting the intertidal and subtidal zones of the São Sebastião Channel. Altogether, 388 living specimens were collected, belonging to 52 species of 34 genera, grouped in 18 families. Tellinidae, Veneridae, Semelidae, Ungulinidae, Mactridae, Solecurtidae, Corbulidae, Cardiidae, Lucinidae, Cooperellidae, Nuculidae, Psammobiidae, Donacidae, Solenidae, Periplomatidae, Thraciidae and Arcidae were the most representative families in this collection. Among the identified species, Caryocorbula caribaea, Codakia pectinella and Diplodonta punctata were intertidally abundant, while Macoma uruguayensis and Pitar fulminata were subtidally abundant.
