Sumario:The objective of this work was to contribute to the knowledge of phytoplankton diversity and limnological characterization of wetlands that are protected in the Mburucuyá National Park. The abundance, diversity, species richness and equitability of phytoplankton in aquatic environments were analyzed in three seasons of the year, 2008-2009, and chemical and physical variables of the environment were taken in situ. The large lagoons of the Mburucuyá National Park are dominated by the Cyanobacteria group, particularly Raphidiopsis raciborskii, which is a potential producer of cyanotoxins. The limnological variables correspond to lagoons with anthropic effects, in this case historically marked by agriculture and livestock. For this reason, it is proposed to implement environmental monitoring in order to record the limnological and phytoplankton evolution of these wetlands, which for decades were affected by human activities.
