  abstract = {{T}he dynamics of fish assemblages from seven floodplain lakes of {S}alado {R}iver ({A}rgentina) was monthly analysed during two contrasting hydrological seasons. {P}artial canonical correspondence analysis indicated that assemblage structure was predictably linked to environmental characteristics that varied along temporal and spatial scales. {S}pecies distributed differentially along an environmental gradient of temperature, hydrometric level, conductivity, macrophyte cover and transparency in relation to their sensory capabilities (following piscivory-transparency-morphometry model) and life history strategies. {D}uring high water season, assemblages were associated with temperature and hydrometric level, factors which varied mainly across temporal scales and exhibit a regional range of action. {D}uring low waters, assemblage structure correlated with macrophyte cover and transparency, factors that varied fundamentally on spatial scales and have local impact. {T}hese results indicate that the determinism of fish assemblages does not vary substantially between hydrometric periods, although the environmental variables affecting fish assemblages and their scale of action are clearly different.},
