RESUMEN
The sampling of fish from the artisanal fleet operating with surface lines off north-eastern Brazil was carried out between 1998 and 2000. Generalized linear models (GLMs) were used to standardize mean abundance indices using catch and fishing effort data on dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus and to identify abundance trends in time and space, using 1215 surface line deployments. A standard relative abundance index (catch per unit effort, CPUE) was estimated for the most frequent vessels used in the sets, employing factors and coefficients generated in the GLMs. According to the models, C. hippurus catches are affected by the operating characteristics and power of different fishing vessels. These differences highlight the need for standardization of catch and effort data for artisanal fisheries. The highest mean abundance values for C. hippurus were off the state of Rio Grande do Norte, with an increasing tendency in areas with greater depths and more distant from the coast, reaching maximal values in areas whose depths range from 200 to 500 m. The highest mean abundance values occurred between April and June. The higher estimated abundance of C. hippurus in this period off the state of Rio Grande do Norte and within the 200-500 m depth range may be related to a migration pattern of food sources, as its main prey, the flying fish Hirundichthys affinis, uses floating algae as refuge and to deposit its pelagic eggs.

La tuberculosis de la glandula parotida es una rara entidad con dos formas clinicas de presentación: la forma difusa, tipo agudo inflamatorio y extremadamente rara, y la forma localizada, clinicamente indistinguible de otras tumoraciones benignas parotideas, y que representa la forma más frecuente, de ahí la importancia de esta patologia en llegar a un diagnostico correcto que requerirá casi siempre una parotidectomia. Presentamos un nuevo caso de esta afección a proposito del cual realizamos una revision de la literatura
