In the study by Professor Dante Teglia and fellows of the Higher Institute of
teacher education No. 35 of Esteban Echeverría, which is ongoing, has determined that Laguna de Rocha
corresponds to an environment of lakes and wetlands that are richest in biodiversity

The water body is partly covered by a layer of floating vegetation, mainly water Lentejitas (Lemna sp.) Shaking up within water bodies can also be found submerged vegetation as a fox tail (Ceratophyllum demersum), Gambarusa (Myriophyllum elatinoides), elodea, and others. Grass, water plump, Creole Sauce, shins, water ferns
Etc. Different plant communities determine different environments which are used by wildlife as habitat for feeding or resting area, shelter and nesting. Numerous species of fish, amphibians and invertebrates and reptiles and semi-aquatic habits living in the lagoon.
Among the abundant fish community the sisters of the river, barrefondos or tacks and eels.
Among the abundant invertebrates are several species of freshwater snails, Ampularia, abundant water fleas and insect species.
Among mammals, the coypu (Myocastor coipus) and guinea pigs are the most common among reptiles and amphibians can be found pond turtles, frogs, frog of the bush, common toad, toad in the caves ...
vertebrate group most represented in both numbers of individuals
As is the variety of species of birds, egret, Garza mora,
Biguá, Cuervillo of the canyon, Snail, Barillero yellow wing, grebes, coots
, caraos , Pato cappuccino, Pato Siriri, snail kite, Pato corn, Jacana, Tero, Tero real, Thrush, Goldfinch, Benteveo, Homer, Carancho, Alconcito among other birds, which are distributed to different areas prescribed by the vegetation resources exploring different ways to lessen competition.
The Pampas grasslands occupy large areas, which are flowering period covered in violet white Plumerillos undulating in the breeze. The cortadera (Cortaderia selloana) is a grass of great size, resistant to both fires and floods. The Cortaderal contains a variety of animal life. The tangle of rices, trailing stems and leaves and caves provide shelter for small rodents and snakes and a variety of invertebrates. The spikes provide food and perches for many birds, hawks, sparrows, finches, thrushes, benteveos, bakers, blackened and goldfinches.
