Figure 3. Species richness dynamics for natives (left) and exotics (right) at the reference (E1) and<br />

affected (E2-E5) sites following the April 1998 spill.<br />

Fish diversity increased in each sampling site during the two years following the spill,<br />

especially in the affected reach (except in E5; Fig. 4). After this initial recovery, a<br />

second stable phase followed (2001-2004), with constant diversity values. However,<br />

from 2005 onwards, started a third fluctuating phase, with maximum values in E2 in<br />

2011.<br />

Figure 4. Species diversity (H´) dynamics at the reference (E1) and affected (E2-E5) sites<br />

following the April 1998 spill.<br />

During this study, at least three different phases could be distinguished for fish<br />

abundance trends in the affected sites. First, early spill removal works resulted in an<br />

increase from the lowest initial values (1999) to a maximum in the second year after the<br />

spill (2000), reaching similar abundance values between the reference and the affected<br />
