Knowledge of the aquatic environment, as well as the main sources of contamination, its transport, its transfer and bioaccumulation are necessary for an adequate evaluation of the degree of contamination of the waters of the Rímac River and its effects on hydrobiological resources and human health. The waters of the Rímac River are mainly contaminated by residues from the mining-metallurgical industry, domestic waste from the centers located on its banks, industrial and agricultural waste. Likewise, the growing requirement for drinking water to supply the population of Lima and Callao, for agriculture and energy generation, makes it necessary to carry out studies on the quality of water and its effects on hydrobiological resources and human health.

Ferrol Bay is considered one of the most polluted areas of the Peruvian coast, mainly due to the residues of the industrial fishing and iron and steel industry. Added to this are domestic waste, oil spills caused during loading and unloading operations and the activities of the port, causing a deterioration of recreational beaches, affecting fishing resources and human health. Anoxic conditions were observed in the bay of Ferrol in the spring of 1994 and the summer of 1966, with an average dissolved oxygen of 0.20 and 0.18 ml / l, respectively. The most contaminated area is the one located near the liquid effluent discharges of Petro Perú - Pesca Perú, with values ​​greater than 250 mg / l of DB05, 0.00 ml / l of dissolved oxygen, temperature of 18.00 ° C and very low chlorophyll "a" values, in the winter of 1998. The El Niño phenomenon 1997-98 had great negative effects on the m...

El océano en su parte más ancha, cerca del Ecuador, tiene una extensión de 12,000 millas y corresponde al Pacífico, mientras que de norte a sur, incluyendo las extensiones del Pacífico Ártico y Antártico, el océano alcanza casi de polo a polo, es decir cubre casi la mitad del globo y si sumamos a esto fas océanos Indico y Atlántico, y sus mares contiguos se tiene un total de 71 %. Es decir que las tres cuartas partes de la superficie del globo están cubiertas por agua, quedando una cuarta parte de tierra

Proporciona los resultados preliminares más importantes del crucero 6504, que permitió investigar la situación actual y la extensión de los cambios registrados en las condiciones hidrológicas y biológicas del mar peruano.
