Coralline algae form abundant and ecologically important submerged aquatic vegetation habitats throughout the world. However, algal performance is threatened by climate change and ocean acidification. Previous studies suggest that their photosynthetic performance will be compromised mainly at elevated temperatures. Understanding the impact of diverse climate change scenarios requires a clear and thorough comprehension of the photosynthetic response to temperature gradients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the short-term effect of temperature (10–35 °C) on the gross photosynthesis (GPS), respiration, and electron transport rates (ETRs) of 3 articulated coralline algae (Lithothrix aspergillum, Corallina officinalis, and Bossiella orbigniana) for a better understanding of their metabolism and to investigate the relationship between GPS and ETR as a function of temperature. The results showed that the coralline algal metabolism is highly sensitive to temperature, but responses were species-specific and can be related to their light adaptation/acclimation; the high-light-adapted L. aspergillum was least negatively affected. The photosynthesis to respiration ratio was optimal between 20 and 25 °C according to the local thermal regime but was significantly reduced toward higher temperatures, indicating strong carbon imbalances and highlighting the relevance of thermal stress for coralline algal performance. A strong correlation between GPS and ETR was found between 10 and 30 °C in all species, but both above saturation irradiances and at elevated temperatures (≥30 °C), a clear deviation from linearity occurred. This suggests that ETR is not a good proxy to estimate photosynthetic activity under light or thermal stress. This information should be useful for studies implementing global change scenarios and pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry in coralline algae.

Although some studies have identified parasites in green turtles (Chelonia mydas), little is known about the morphology of helminth eggs in the feces of these animals. The aim of this study was to morphologically characterize helminth eggs recovered in coproparasitological exams by sedimentation and to analyze their relationship with helminth species recovered during necropsy of juvenile specimens of C. mydas. Four different egg morphotypes were found, identified, and classified as digenetic trematodes of the families Microscaphidiidae, Cladorchiidae, and Spirorchiidae. There was morphological diversity in the size of the eggs measured directly in adult parasites, with sizes ranging from 19.07 to 99.28 μm in length and from 11.35 to 45.66 μm in width. The observation of eggs on coproparasitological exams is important for studying the ecology of sea turtle parasites, since the life cycle of some species is not yet fully understood.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar la variabilidad espaciotemporal de clorofila satelital (Clsat), productividad primaria (PP), temperatura de la superficie del mar (TSM) y altura del nivel del mar (ANM) de julio de 2002 a diciembre de 2018 en el banco de Campeche. Se descargaron composiciones mensuales de Clsat y TSM del sensor MODIS-Aqua, y de ANM de la página COPERNICUS. Las composiciones de PP se descargaron de la página de internet de la Universidad Estatal de Oregón. Se estudiaron 4 transectos de 200 km perpendiculares a la costa de Campeche (T1 a T4), y 1 de 300 km paralelo a la misma (T5). Se construyeron series de tiempo y diagramas Hovmöller para estudiar las variaciones espaciales y temporales. La Clsat en T1 a T4 mostró una distinción entre una zona interior (0–60 km) y una exterior (60–200 km). La zona nerítica interior presentó los máximos de Clsat (>2.5 mg·m–3) y PP (>2 g C·m–2·d–1) en época de lluvias y los mínimos en época de secas (<0.25 m) en época de secas (<2 mg·m–3 y <2 g C·m–2·d–1, respectivamente), ya que los aportes de nutrientes por escorrentía a la zona interior proveen nutrientes para el fitoplancton. La zona nerítica exterior presentó los máximos de Clsat (>0.6 mg·m–3) y PP (>0.7 g C·m–2·d–1) durante los frentes fríos y los mínimos en secas (<0.3 mg·m–3 y <0.4 g C·m–2·d–1), debido a que los frentes fríos generan mezcla de la columna de agua y, consecuentemente, acarrean nutrientes hacia la zona eufótica. TSM presentó máximos (>30 °C) en época de lluvias y mínimos (<22 ºC) durante frente fríos; la ANM tuvo máximos (<22 °C) durante frentes fríos; la ANM tuvo máximos (>0.40 m) durante frentes fríos y mínimos (<0.25 m) en época de secas.
摘要本研究旨在研究2002年7月至2018年12月坎佩切岸卫星叶绿素(Clsat)、初级生产力(PP)、海表温度(sst)和海平面高度(ANM)的时空变异性。每月Clsat和TSM组成从MODIS-Aqua传感器下载,ANM从哥白尼页面下载。PP的作文是从俄勒冈州立大学的网站下载的。本研究的目的是确定在坎佩切海岸附近的三个不同的样带(T1 - T4)和一个平行于坎佩切海岸的300公里样带(T5)。建立了时间序列和hovmoller图来研究空间和时间变化。T1至T4的Clsat显示了内部(0 - 60公里)和外部(60 - 200公里)区域的区别。nerítica区里面介绍了Clsat上限(> 2.5 mg·m—3)和PP (> 2 g C·m·d—2—1)在时间的降雨和干旱季节中最低(的mg·m—3)和PP (> 0.7 g C·m·d—2—1)并在各条战线寒冷和干旱中最低(30°C)在时间的降雨和最低最低(0.40米)在战线冷(< 0.25 m)在干旱时期。

The small-scale tuna longline fishery operating on the coast of Nayarit started recently in 2013. We provide the first detailed report on some biological parameters for the yellowfin tuna (YFT) in Nayarit (Mexico). We sampled 584 YFT, representing a catch of 25.5 t. We fit the length–weight relationship, used the t-test to determine the type of growth, and estimated the selectivity curve. The total length data varied from 73.0 to 228.0 cm, with a mean of 153.0 ± 23.5 cm (mean ± SD). Weight ranged from 5.8 to 128.0 kg, with a mean of 43.7 ± 19.4 kg. Length–weight fitting results and the t-test suggested negative allometric growth. Selectivity fitting results suggested that selectivity follows an asymptotic pattern. Our results represent the first step into gathering information to establish research and monitoring programs for the YFT on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The information provided in this study could help develop proper regulations to assure a well-managed fishery and the sustainable exploitation of YFT in Nayarit.

Muchas especies de la familia Serranidae son hermafroditas y tienen importancia comercial. Paranthias colonus pertenece a esta familia, y no se conocen las características de su reproducción. La presente investigación se llevó a cabo con ejemplares provenientes de la pesca comercial en la costa sur de Jalisco, México. En total, fueron procesados 1,541 ejemplares, los cuales presentaron una longitud media de 30.30 ± 0.10 cm y un intervalo de longitud de 19.80 a 38.00 cm. Las gónadas de los ejemplares fueron analizadas macro y microscópicamente. La proporción de sexos fue de 1.00:0.97 (H:M). De acuerdo con los valores mensuales máximos del índice gonadosomático, los estadios de madurez gonadal y el diámetro de los ovocitos, P. colonus presenta 2 periodos reproductivos amplios, de marzo a junio y de noviembre a diciembre. Se encontró correlación significativa entre los valores medios mensuales del índice gonadosomático y el factor de condición relativo. Las gónadas en estadio maduro presentaron ovocitos en 6 fases de desarrollo diferentes y con diámetros de 14.30 a 417.40 µm, lo que supone que el desarrollo de los ovocitos es asincrónico. En el testículo, el desarrollo de la línea germinal es del tipo lobular no restringido. Este órgano no presentó un arreglo típico de un pez teleósteo, ya que los lóbulos parecen estar delimitados por lamelas. La información generada en este estudio indica que P. colonus es una especie gonocórica. La longitud media de madurez fue de 26.80 cm en hembras y 26.90 cm en machos. Las longitudes medias de captura indicaron que el 79.70% de las hembras y el 83.30% de los machos ya se habían reproducido por lo menos una vez antes de ser capturados.

Las condiciones climáticas y oceánicas determinan el patrón de distribución de la merluza del Pacífico (Merluccius productus). El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo conocer la relación espaciotemporal entre la distribución y la abundancia de la merluza del Pacífico y el ambiente en el golfo de California. Se analizó la información obtenida de 6 cruceros de investigación realizados entre 2014 y 2019. Los resultados mostraron que la merluza del golfo de California alcanza tallas de 105 cm de longitud total y presenta dimorfismo sexual a tallas >73 cm de longitud total. La mayor biomasa del recurso (68,260.37 t) se encontró en febrero de 2019 entre los 200 y 300 m de profundidad, y la menor, en octubre de 2016 (6,917.80 t) a profundidades de 100–150 m. Los centros de abundancia se localizaron a temperaturas de fondo de entre 13 y 14 °C, al norte de la isla Ángel de la Guarda y entre las grandes islas (isla Tiburón e isla Ángel de la Guarda). Al ajustar modelos aditivos generalizados entre las capturas de merluza de cada estación y distintas variables ambientales, espaciales y temporales, se encontró que la temperatura de fondo fue la variable que mejor describió estos centros de abundancia.
气候和海洋条件决定了太平洋鳕鱼(Merluccius productus)的分布模式。本研究的目的是了解太平洋鳕鱼的分布和丰度与加利福尼亚湾环境之间的时空关系。我们分析了从2014年至2019年进行的6次研究巡航中获得的信息。结果表明,加利福尼亚湾鳕鱼的总长度达到105 cm,在总长度>73 cm时表现出性别二型性。2019年2月在200 - 300 m深度发现了最大的资源生物量(68260.37 t), 2016年10月在100 - 150 m深度发现了最小的资源生物量(6917.80 t)。丰度中心位于13 - 14°C的背景温度,位于angel de la Guarda岛北部和大岛(tiburon岛和angel de la Guarda岛)之间。本研究的目的是评估不同季节鳕鱼渔获量和不同环境、空间和时间变量之间的广义可加性模型,发现背景温度是描述这些丰度中心的最佳变量。

A biological basis for survival and development, the diet of fish represents a baseline for research on ecological aspects related to the structure and function of marine communities. This study focused on the feeding habits of the Pacific red snapper, Lutjanus peru, in Santa Rosalía, Baja California Sur (Mexico), during August 2016 through October 2017. A total of 403 specimens were analyzed and categorized by sex, sexual maturity, and season. The size interval ranged from 21 to 60 cm total length, and the weight ranged from 195 to 1,920 g. A total of 29 prey items were identified, including fish (13 items), crustaceans (11 items), mollusks (4 items), and tunicates (1 item). According to the index of relative importance, the main prey were Sardinops sagax (47.65%), Nycthiphanes simplex (38.50%), Harengula thrissina (11.21%), Myctophidae (0.68%), and Benthosema panamense (0.52%). Prey were consumed in different proportions according to sex (F = 2.01, P < 0.049), sexual maturity (F = 4.99, P < 0.001), and season (F = 45.52, P < 0.001). The trophic width was narrow (Bi = 0.16); this was consistent with the Costello graph, which showed the consumption of mainly pelagic-coastal and mesopelagic gregarious prey. The Pacific red snapper in Santa Rosalía functioned as a tertiary consumer. Its opportunistic diet included few highly abundant prey items, and the diet composition differed from that of L. peru in other areas of the Gulf of California and the Pacific coast of Mexico.
鱼类的饮食是生存和发展的生物学基础,是研究与海洋群落结构和功能有关的生态方面的基线。这项研究的重点是太平洋红鲷鱼,Lutjanus秘鲁,在Santa Rosalía,下加利福尼亚州南部(墨西哥),2016年8月至2017年10月期间的摄食习惯。对403份标本进行了分析,并按性别、性成熟程度和季节进行了分类。总长度为21 ~ 60 cm,重量为195 ~ 1920 g。共鉴定出29种猎物,其中鱼类(13种)、甲壳类(11种)、软体动物(4种)和被囊动物(1种)。相对重要度指数显示,主要捕食对象为sagax(47.65%)、nychthiphanes simplex(38.50%)、Harengula thrissina(11.21%)、mytophidae(0.68%)和Benthosema panamense(0.52%)。不同性别(F = 2.01, P < 0.049)、性成熟(F = 4.99, P < 0.001)和季节(F = 45.52, P < 0.001)对猎物的消耗比例不同。营养宽度较窄(Bi = 0.16);这与科斯特洛图一致,科斯特洛图显示了主要捕食中上层海岸和中上层海岸的群居猎物。圣诞老人Rosalía中的太平洋红鲷鱼是第三级消费者。它的机会性饮食包括很少的高度丰富的猎物,其饮食组成与加利福尼亚湾和墨西哥太平洋沿岸其他地区的L.秘鲁不同。

According to the index of relative importance, the main prey were Sardinops sagax (47.65%), Nycthiphanes simplex (38.50%), Harengula thrissina (11.21%), Myctophidae (0.68%), and Benthosema panamense (0.52%). Prey were consumed in different proportions according to sex (F = 2.01, P < 0.049), sexual maturity (F = 4.99, P < 0.001), and season (F = 45.52, P < 0.001). The trophic width was narrow (Bi = 0.16); this was consistent with the Costello graph, which showed the consumption of mainly pelagic-coastal and mesopelagic gregarious prey. The Pacific red snapper in Santa Rosalía functioned as a tertiary consumer. Its opportunistic diet included few highly abundant prey items, and the diet composition differed from that of L. peru in other areas of the Gulf of California and the Pacific coast of Mexico.","PeriodicalId":50702,"journal":{"name":"Ciencias Marinas","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41539201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Mexican Central Pacific (MCP) has complex oceanographic dynamics, with a well-defined seasonal pattern and influence of interannual sea surface temperature anomalies. The present study investigated the relationship between the distribution/abundance of spotted dolphins and the environmental conditions in the MCP. Dolphin sighting data were collected during January 2010–December 2015; distance to coast, sea surface temperature, and chlorophyll a (Chla) were obtained for each sighting location through georeferenced maps and satellite images. A total of 746 spotted dolphin sightings were obtained with a survey effort of 31,695 km. Spotted dolphins in the MCP showed a predominantly coastal distribution regardless of environmental conditions. Significant differences were detected concerning regional seasonal variation, with higher mean sighting rate during the stratified periods and higher density/abundance estimates during the mixed periods. Spotted dolphins showed preference for warmer conditions, with higher mean sighting rate, abundance, and distance to coast during the neutral and warm interannual periods. During the coolest conditions (cold periods), mean sighting rate and abundance decreased and spotted dolphins were located closer to the coast, where Chla concentration increased. These results suggest that changes in the distribution/abundance of these dolphins could be associated with habitat quality related to tropical (El Niño/Southern Oscillation) and extratropical (The Blob) oceanographic phenomena, which could be modulating their foraging activities.

Dentro del programa de conservación de tortugas marinas en Boca de Tomates, Jalisco (México), todos los nidos de Lepidochelys olivacea son reubicados a corral de playa o a cajas de poliestireno debido a la recolección ilegal de huevos, la depredación, la erosión y las altas temperaturas de la arena. Con ambos métodos de incubación evaluamos los siguientes términos de viabilidad del nido y calidad de los neonatos: éxito de eclosión, temperatura del nido, duración de incubación y calidad de neonatos (desempeño locomotor, morfometría, peso y malformaciones congénitas). El éxito de eclosión fue significativamente mayor en corral (promedio = 77.4%, n = 1368) que en cajas (promedio = 59.91%, n = 1,160) (P < 0.001). Los nidos incubados en corral eclosionaron en menor tiempo que aquellos incubados en cajas (corral = 46 d, cajas = 51 d) (P < 0.001) debido a una temperatura promedio significativamente más elevada (corral = 32.62 ºC, cajas = 30.58 ºC) (P < 0.001). El corral fue expuesto a menor variabilidad de la fluctuación térmica diaria (corral = 1.46 ºC, cajas = 2.69 ºC) (P < 0.001). No encontramos diferencia significativa en ningún parámetro de calidad de los neonatos entre los métodos de incubación (P > 0.050). Determinamos que las malformaciones en L. olivacea tienen baja prevalencia (corral = 1.35%, caja = 1.89%) y bajo índice de intensidad por organismo (corral = 1.52, cajas = 1.89) en este sitio. Este es el primer estudio que conocemos que compara la calidad de neonatos de una misma especie (L. olivacea) entre estos 2 métodos de incubación ex situ en la misma ubicación y durante el mismo periodo de tiempo. Realizar estudios similares a este es importante, puesto que la calidad de los neonatos puede contribuir a su capacidad de supervivencia y reproducción.
在墨西哥哈利斯科的Boca de Tomatos海龟保护计划中,由于非法收集鸡蛋、捕食、侵蚀和沙子高温,所有橄榄鳞海龟的巢穴都被转移到海滩围栏或聚苯乙烯箱中。通过这两种孵化方法,我们评估了以下关于巢穴生存能力和新生儿质量的术语:孵化成功、巢穴温度、孵化持续时间和新生儿质量(运动性能、形态计量学、体重和先天畸形)。家禽(平均=77.4%,n=1368)的孵化成功率明显高于盒子(平均=59.91%,n=1160)(p<0.001)。由于平均温度显着较高(家禽=32.62ºC,盒子=30.58ºC)(p<0.001),在家禽中孵化的巢穴比在盒子中孵化的巢穴孵化的时间短(家禽=46 d,盒子=51 d)(p<0.001)。家禽暴露于每日热波动的可变性较低(Corral=1.46ºC,Cajas=2.69ºC)(p<0.001)。我们发现孵化方法之间新生儿的任何质量参数没有显着差异(p>0.050)。我们确定橄榄叶中的畸形在该部位的患病率较低(Corral=1.35%,Caja=1.89%)和低强度指数(Corral=1.52,Cajas=1.89)。这是我们知道的第一项比较同一物种(橄榄树)的新生儿在同一地点和同一时期的这两种场外孵化方法之间质量的研究。进行类似的研究很重要,因为新生儿的质量可能有助于他们的生存和繁殖能力。

Although much effort has been dedicated to the management of the red octopus fishery on the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico), managers have yet to incorporate economic aspects to ensure sustainable and profitable exploitation of this fishery resource. We developed a bioeconomic model that incorporated the uncertainty for the r and K parameters. We fit 3 models (Schaefer, Fox, and Pella–Tomlinson) to abundance index survey data and used the Akaike information criterion for model selection. The best fit corresponded to the Schaefer model. We built deterministic and stochastic versions of the Gordon–Schaefer model. Economic data (costs and prices) were determined from inter[1]views with fishermen. To estimate the posterior distributions of parameters and indicators, we used Bayesian methods with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations. The deterministic results suggested that the maximum sustainable income was Mex$851.70 million, with a fishing effort of 3,650 fishing boats, while the maximum sustainable profit was $390.8 million, with a fishing effort of 2,472 fishing boats. The equilibrium point corresponded to an effort of 4,945 fishing boats. Regarding the stochastic model, the MCMC simulation results suggest that the maximum sustainable income distribution was not normal; its average was $856.1 million (SE 1.8) and the most likely value was $849.50 million. The most likely fishing effort at equilibrium was 4,970 fishing boats. Our results suggest the fishery could be operating close to the economic equilibrium point; if this is the case, fishing effort must decrease in order for annual profit to increase. Our approach will help make periodical re-evaluations of the fishery and establish management strategies to ensure the profitable and sustainable exploitation of the red octopus on the Yucatan Peninsula.
