We present two-dimensional gaseous kinematics of the inner 1.2 $\times$ 1.8kpc$^2$ of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC3081, from optical spectra (5600--7000\r{A})obtained with the GMOS integral field spectrograph on the Gemini Northtelescope at a spatial resolution of $\approx$ 100pc. We have identifiedtwo-components in the line emitting gas. A narrower component (FWHM $\approx$60-100km s$^{-1}$), which appears to be gas in the galaxy disk, and which showsa distorted rotation pattern, is observed over the whole field of view. Abroader component (FWHM $\approx$150-250 km s$^{-1}$) is present in the inner$\approx$ 2arcsec (200pc) and shows blueshifts and redshifts in the near andfar sides of the galaxy, respectively, consistent with a bipolar outflow.Assuming this to be the case, we estimate that the mass outflow rate in ionizedgas ($\dot{M}_{out}$) is between 1.9 $\times 10^{-3}$M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ and6.9 $\times 10^{-3}$M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The subtraction of a rotation modelfrom the narrower component velocity field reveals a pattern of excessblueshifts of $\approx$ 50km s$^{-1}$ in the far side of the galaxy and similarexcess redshifts in the near side, which are cospatial with a previously knownnuclear bar. We interpret these residuals as due to gas following non-circularorbits in the barred potential. Under the assumption that these motions maylead to gas inflows, we estimate an upper limit for the mass inflow rate inionized gas of $\phi$ $\approx$ 1.3 $\times 10^{-2}$M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$.
