Resumo: This work was developed in the estuary of the Vaza-Barris River, Sergipe, Brazil, and established nine sampling stations in the hope to ensure maximum representation of the study area. In order to characterize the environment and community ichthyoplankton, we tried to recognize trends and distribution of these organisms to evaluate the role of the estuary as an environment conducive to growth in the early stages of local ichthyofauna. The campaigns were carried out every three months, from April 2010 to January 2011, on two consecutive days during the tide quadrature. For sampling it was used network-cylindrical conical type (500 μm), operated in the flow of ebb tide day and night, with two types of hauls in the surface and one meter deep. The parameters water temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, inorganic phosphate, chlorophyll "a", phaeophytin, nitrate and turbidity were obtained in surface of all sampling stations. We collected 38,781 eggs and 3,526 fish larvae. Eggs and larvae were present in all months and all sampling stations. We identified 42 different taxa, distributed in 21 families. The distribution and composition of ichthyoplankton in the estuary of the Vaza-Barris River were strongly influenced by environmental conditions, mainly by the penetration of marine waters through the tidal currents. Some families, like Engraulidae, Gobiidae (Bathygobius soporator, Ctenogobius spp., Gobionellus oceanicus, Gobiosoma nudum and Microgobius meeki), Sciaenidae (Bairdiella ronchus, Cynoscion leiarchus, Macrodon ancylodon, Micropogonias furnieri, Stellifer rastrifer and S. stellifer) and Achiridae (Achirus sp. and Trinectes sp.), occurred throughout the period studied in higher densities, while other rare, as Ostraciidae (Acanthostracion sp.) and Microdesmidae (Microdesmus longipinnis), were recorded for the first time in the region. The fact that families, which are economically and ecologically important, use the estuary during the development of its life cycle, emphasizes the importance of the area in the maintenance of estuarine fish species and the adjacent coastal zone.
