FIGURE 1 in Relationship between fish assemblage structure and predictors related to estuarine productivity in shallow habitats of a Neotropical estuary

FIGURE 1 | Maps of study area, their location in the coast of Paraná (Southestern Brazil) and, in detail, the sampling points (1–8) along the north-south axis of the Paranaguá Bay Estuarine Complex. The geographical limits of the Guaraqueçaba Area of Enviromental Protection (in Portuguese acronimous – APA) and Superagui National Park are also shown. To compute the values of distance from the mouth of the estuary and the sampling point (see methods), we used the ocean-turned face of the Island Mel as the reference of the mouth of the estuary. Distance from the estuarine mouth: Site 1 = 33.97 km, Site 2 = 34.41, Site 3 = 26.27 km, Site 4 = 29.2 km, Site 5 = 24.85 km, Site 6 = 19.30 km, Site 7 = 7.5 km, Site 8 = 5.18 km.
