The abiotic data were able to distinguish the presence of three different water masses in the region, mainly in the winter: Continental water (CW), being well oxygenated, cold and presenting the lowest salinity and high silicate; Subantarctic Shelf water (SASW), being also well oxygenated, cold with low salinity and high nutrients; and Subtropical Shelf Water (STSW), being less oxygenated, warmer and more saline than the CW and the SASW.
