Como consecuencia se han realizado estudios para comprender el funcionamiento ecol&oacute;gico del &aacute;rea. De &eacute;stos se ha derivado una imagen de la zona como un centro de gran producci&oacute;n org&aacute;nica con altas biomasas de invertebrados (<a href="#Farfán">Farf&aacute;n y Alvarez-Borrego 1992</a>, <a href="#Villarreal">Villarreal-Ch&aacute;vez 1992</a>).</font></font>     <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Sin embargo el Delta del R&iacute;o Colorado ha sufrido un fuerte impacto humano relacionado con la construcci&oacute;n de represas entre 1938 y 1963. Esto ha provocado, un bloqueo absoluto del flujo de agua dulce, y el establecimiento de un estuario euhalino que presenta salinidad entre 33 y 37 %o en toda su extensi&oacute;n.

El an&aacute;lisis granulom&eacute;trico se realiz&oacute; por el m&eacute;todo de <a href="#Folk">Folk (1961)</a>, en dos muestras de sedimento superficial de cada estaci&oacute;n.
