dc.description.abstract It is increasingly recognized that demersal communities are important for the functioning of continental shelf and slope ecosystems around the world, including tropical regions. Demersal communities are most prominent in areas of high detritus production and transport, and they link benthic and pelagic biological communities. To understand the structure and role of the demersal community on the southeastern Brazilian Bight, we constructed a trophodynamic model with 37 functional groups to represent the demersal community of the outer continental shelf and upper slope of this area, using the Ecopath with Ecosim 6 (EwE) approach and software. The model indicates high production and biomass of detritus and benthic invertebrates, and strong linkages of these components to demersal and pelagic sub-webs. The level of omnivory indexes in this ecosystem was high, forming a highly connected trophic web reminiscent of tropical land areas. Although high levels of ascendency may indicate resistance and resilience to disturbance, recent and present fisheries trends are probably degrading the biological community and related ecosystem services. pt_BR
dc.description.abstract Modelo trófico de la comunidad demersal de la plataforma continental exterior y talud superior de la Cuenca del Sudeste de Brasil. – La importancia de las comunidades demersales para el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas de plataforma continental y talud son reconocidos alrededor del mundo, incluyendo las regiones tropicales. Esas comunidades son más prominentes en áreas con gran producción y transporte de detrito. Para entender la estructura y funcionamiento de la comunidad demersal en la Ensenada Sureste Brasileña, construimos un modelo trofodinámico con 37 grupos funcionales para representar la comunidad demersal de la plataforma continental externa y el talud superior de esa región, utilizando el paquete Ecopath con Ecosim 6 (EwE). El modelo indica que el detrito y los invertebrados son muy abundantes e importantes en la estructura de este ecosistema. El nivel de omnivoría encontrado en este ecosistema fue alto, conformando una red trófica altamente conectada, a semejanza del de las áreas tropicales terrestres. pt_BR
