Com o objetivo de analisar a distribuição temporal de larvas de Pachyurus bonariensis e sua relação com algumas variáveis ambientais, foram feitas coletas na baía Sinhá Mariana, Mato Grosso, entre março/2000 e março/2004, às 16 e 22h. Simultaneamente, amostras de água foram obtidas para determinar temperatura da água, oxigênio dissolvido, pH e condutividade elétrica. As maiores densidades foram verificadas entre os meses de outubro e janeiro, sugerindo ser este o principal período de reprodução da espécie. No entanto, larvas em estágio de pré-flexão e flexão também foram encontradas no inverno,possivelmente associadas às condições favoráveis para a reprodução. Indivíduos de todos os estágios estiveram presentes, ou seja, é provável que todo o ciclo de vida da espécie ocorra dentro da baía. A densidade de larvas mais desenvolvidas na superfície foi maior à noite, enquanto as larvas iniciais foram encontradas na superfície em ambos os horários, ou seja, o grau de desenvolvimento morfológico larval influencia no padrão de distribuição da espécie na coluna de água.With the objective to analyze the temporary distribution of Pachyurus bonariensis larvae and its relationship with some environmental variable, collections were carried in the Sinhá Mariana bay, Mato Grosso State, between March/2000 and March/2004, at 4:00 p.m. and at 10:00 p.m. Simultaneously, water samples were obtained to determine temperature of the water, dissolved oxygen, pH and electricconductivity. The higher densities were verified between October and January, suggesting to be this the main period of species reproduction. However, larvae in preflexion and flexion stages were also found in the winter, possibly associated to the favorable conditions for the reproduction. Individuals of all stages were present, thus it is probable that the whole life cycle happens inside of the bay. The density of larvae more developed in the surface was higher at night, while the initial larvae were found in the surface in both schedules, thus the degree of larval morphologic development influences in the distribution pattern of the species in the column of water.
