The hydrochemical, physical-chemical, and biological dynamics were studied in the eastern waters of the gulf ofCariaco, where wind and precipitation patterns govern these processes to a significant degree. Average monthly values forboth surface and bottom waters were respectively as follows: temperature: 25.69 °C each; salinity: 35.41 and 35.75 units;density anomaly (ó-t): 23.43 and 23.84 kg/m3; oxygen concentration: 184.49 and 178.38 mmol/kg; pH: 7.98 and 7.94;nitrates: 3.18 and 4...
