El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar la frecuencia y la hora apropiada de alimentacion de juveniles de C. viridis en cultivo para optimizar el crecimiento y la supervivencia. Se utilizaron juveniles de 0.36 ± 0.01 g para evaluar de 1 a 5 frecuencias de alimentacion ad libitum por dia, con intervalos de 3 a 24 h, durante 6 semanas. Se determino el peso ganado (PG), la tasa de crecimiento (TC), la tasa especifica de crecimiento (TEC), la tasa de conversion alimenticia (TCA), la tasa de eficiencia alimenticia (TEA), el coeficiente de variacion (CV), el indice hepatosomatico (IH), el indice de grasa peritonea l (IGP) y la supervivencia (S) de los juveniles. La TC y la TEC de los juveniles alimentados 3 veces al dia, independientemente de las horas de alimentacion, no presentaron diferencias significativas con respecto a los resultados obtenidos para los juveniles alimentados 5 veces al dia.

En este estudio, se evaluaron las interacciones entre el peso corporal (BW) y la longitud (SL), la altura (SH) y el ancho (SW) de la concha en una poblacion de L. grandis en el golfo de California, Mexico. Se recolectaron a mano 80 berberechos mensualmente, desde agosto de 2017 hasta julio de 2018, de cerca y/o debajo de los arboles de mangle, en la costa sureste del golfo de California. El intervalo de medidas de las conchas (SL = 142.00–44.57 mm, SH = 85.50–31.15 mm, SW = 76.56–32.03 mm) indica que la poblacion muestreada estaba dominada por especimenes adultos. Solo el coeficiente de variacion para BW exhibio alta dispersion (23%–45%). Las relaciones potenciales de BW con SL, SH y SW no fueron lineales. La interaccion mas fuerte se encontro entre BW y SW (R² = 0.934); la relacion BW–SW describio mejor el crecimiento de este arcido. Todas las relaciones entre la dimension y el peso de la concha fueron significativas (P ≤ 0.05), lo cual indica tanto crecimiento alometrico negativo (SL–SW y SH–SW) como positivo (SL–SH, BW–SL, BW–SH y BW–SW). Los valores de b oscilaron entre 0.8950, para la relacion LogSH–LogSW, y 2.6240, para la interaccion LogBW–LogSH.

EnglishThe blood cockle "Larkinia grandis" is a commercially important resource in the Gulf of California, but little information is available on this species. In this study, the interactions between body weight (BW) and shell length (SL), height (SH), and width ( SW) were evaluated in a L. grandis population in the Gulf of California, Mexico. Eighty cockles were hand-picked monthly from August 2017 to July 2018 near and/or under mangrove trees on the southeastern coast of the Gulf of California. The range of shell measurements (SL = 14 2.00–44.57 mm, SH = 85.50–31.15 mm, SW = 76.56–32.03 mm) indicates that the sampled population was dominated by adult specimens. Only the coefficient of variation for BW exhibited high dispersion (23%–45%). The potential relationships between BW and SL, SH, and SW were non-linear. The strongest interaction was found between BW and SW (R² = 0.934), with the BW–SW relationship best describing the growth of this ark clam. All shell dimension–weight relationships were significant (P ≤ 0.05), indicating both negative (SL–SW and SH–SW) and positive (SL–SH, BW–SL, BW–SH, and BW–SW) allometric growth. The b values ranged from 0.8950, for the LogSH–LogSW relationship, to 2.6240, for the LogBW–LogSH interaction.

Crassiphycus corneus (J.Agardh) Gurgel, J.N.Norris et Fredericq (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) is a species with high-quality and high yields of polysaccharides and is therefore an important agarophyte on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. On the northeastern coast of Brazil, the populations of this species are mostly composed of individuals of the wild red color strain and by some individuals of the green color strain, the latter being scarcely studied. This work characterizes and compares the physiological performance of the wild red strain and the green variant under different temperature and irradiance conditions in the laboratory. The results indicate that the green and red strains are similarly tolerant to low temperatures (18 oC) but intolerant to high temperatures (35 oC). Both strains exhibited the highest growth rate at 25 oC and high irradiance (500 μmol photon·m–2·s–1). Under these conditions, photosynthetic rate and pigment content were similar in both color strains, but growth rates were higher in the red strain. Despite this difference, it is important to highlight that the green strain showed a growth rate of over 10%, which indicates that it could be used for cultures aiming to obtain products with added value.

espanolLa fibropapilomatosis (FP) es una enfermedad neoplasica que afecta a las tortugas marinas en aguas tropicales. Los individuos juveniles de tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) parecen ser los mas afectados por los tumores cutaneos, que no son malignos, pero dependiendo de su numero, tamano y ubicacion, pueden comprometer la supervivencia. La prevalencia de la FP en tortugas marinas ha incrementado en las decadas pasadas en zonas como Espirito Santo (Brasil) y Texas (EUA), pero en Mexico pocos casos han sido documentados a la fecha. Durante 2017–2018 se registro por primera vez una prevalencia de FP del 12.2% en tortugas de vida libre en el Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano, un area sujeta a la presion ambiental y la presion antropica. De acuerdo con el analisis histopatologico de una muestra de tejido, los tumores fueron consistentes con las caracteristicas de fibropapilomas. Los tumores no fueron severos (0.01–7.16 cm), pero la mayoria tuvo una apariencia verrugosa y se encontraron en las aletas y los ojos, lo que podria representar un riesgo potencial para la salud de los juveniles. Se recomienda continuar el monitoreo de esta poblacion, y la informacion aportada aqui puede servir de base para estudios futuros en aguas mexicanas del golfo de Mexico, en donde la FP no habia sido reportada aun. EnglishFibropapillomatosis (FP) is a neoplastic disease affecting marine turtles around the tropics. Juvenile green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) seem to be the most affected by the cutaneous tumors, which are not malignant but depending on their number, size, and location, can hamper survival. FP prevalence in sea turtles has increased over the past few decades in areas such as Espirito Santo (Brazil) and Texas (USA), but in Mexico few instances have been documented to date. Here we report a 12.2% FP prevalence in free-ranging turtles captured during 2017–2018 in the Veracruz Reef System National Park, a previously unreported site in Mexico, which is subject to environ-mental and anthropogenic pressures. Histopathological analysis of one tissue sample revealed tumors were consistent with the characteristics of fibropapillomas.

Los individuos juveniles de tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) parecen ser los mas afectados por los tumores cutaneos, que no son malignos, pero dependiendo de su numero, tamano y ubicacion, pueden comprometer la supervivencia. La prevalencia de la FP en tortugas marinas ha incrementado en las decadas pasadas en zonas como Espirito Santo (Brasil) y Texas (EUA), pero en Mexico pocos casos han sido documentados a la fecha. Durante 2017–2018 se registro por primera vez una prevalencia de FP del 12.2% en tortugas de vida libre en el Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano, un area sujeta a la presion ambiental y la presion antropica. De acuerdo con el analisis histopatologico de una muestra de tejido, los tumores fueron consistentes con las caracteristicas de fibropapilomas. Los tumores no fueron severos (0.01–7.16 cm), pero la mayoria tuvo una apariencia verrugosa y se encontraron en las aletas y los ojos, lo que podria representar un riesgo potencial para la salud de los juveniles.

espanolSe ha documentado que la cacerolita de mar Limulus polyphemus se captura de forma ilegal para uso como carnada de Octopus spp. en algunas localidades de la peninsula de Yucatan, Mexico. Para conocer si la pesqueria de pulpo pudiese tener una influencia negativa en las poblaciones de este limulo, se muestrearon organismos de L. polyphemus 2 veces al ano, antes y despues del comienzo de la temporada anual de pulpo, durante 4 anos consecutivos (2015–2018) en Rio Lagartos y San Felipe, situados en la Reserva de la Biosfera Ria Lagartos (RBRL), Yucatan. Se trazaron cuadrantes perpendiculares a la vera del manglar y se midieron los parametros fisicoquimicos del agua (profundidad, temperatura, oxigeno disuelto, pH, salinidad y conductividad electrica), asi como la granulometria del sedimento marino (mediante el tamizado de Folk). Se registro el numero de individuos vivos, el numero de hembras y la longitud promedio. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en los parametros fisicoquimicos del agua ni en la sedimentologia registrada (P > 0.05). Los muestreos evidenciaron pocos organismos por sitioestudiado: 22 en Rio Lagartos y 24 en San Felipe, ambos resultados antes de iniciada la temporada de pulpo de 2017. En los muestreos poste-riores al inicio de la temporada de pulpo de 2018, solo se observaron 2 organismos en Rio Lagartos y ninguno en San Felipe.

EnglishWe describe the diet, feeding strategy, and trophic interactions between the 11 most abundant demersal fish species on the Pacific coast of central Mexico during both the warm and cold seasons. A total of 4,547 stomachs were collected, with 1,921 empty stomachs being discarded. According to the stomach content analysis, 95 prey items were identified and grouped into 70 food categories belonging to crusta-ceans, mollusks, fish, polychaetes, and echinoderms. The Smith index value and high prey diversity indicated that the 11 fish species exhibited a generalist opportunistic feeding strategy in both survey seasons. Low values of dietary overlap were recorded, and only a few significant cases of dietary overlap were found in the interaction between some rays (Urotrygonidae) and flatfish species (Pleuronectiformes). The availability and abundance of prey resources in the environment and the generalization of niche breadth allows the demersal predator community of the soft shallow bottoms to coexist without any evident competition for trophic resources.

Seven-month-old shi drum (Umbrina cirrosa) specimens (mean weight 18.98 g, mean length 11.80 cm) were classified into 2 groups, a control group (C) fed a standard diet and a vegetal group (V) fed a diet with partial replacement of fish meal and fish oil by vegetable products. The body and muscle parameters were studied on days 0, 27, and 62 of the experiment. On day 27, body length was similar in both groups, but body weight was significantly lower in group V than in group C. The transverse area of the white muscle was also significantly lower in V than in C. Hypertrophy was higher in C than in V, whereas hyperplasia was higher in V than in C. On day 62, the body parameters showed similar results to those found on day 27. Muscle cellularity was different from that found on day 27, since hypertrophy was higher in V than in C and hyperplasia was higher in C than in V. The feed conversion rate and specific growth rate were similar in both groups, but the daily intake rate was lower in V than in C. Therefore, it seems that the percentage of vegetables in the vegetal feed was excessively high and this caused less acceptance by the fish. The hepatosomatic, viscerosomatic, and intestinal length indices were similar in both groups. Survival was nearly 100% in both groups.

espanolActualmente, la mayor amenaza que enfrentan los corales escleractinios es el cambio climatico acelerado. Suponiendo que la mayoria de los escleractinios son incapaces de una respuesta de adaptacion a los rapidos cambios globales, una respuesta alternativa seria la plasticidad fenotipica, que se describe clasicamente como aclimatacion. Con el fin de establecer una linea base para el estudio de la aclima-tacion en los corales de la costa mexicana del Pacifico, en el presente trabajo evaluamos la plasticidad de la respuesta fisiologica y molecular de 36 colonias pertenecientes a 3 morfoespecies del genero Pocillopora (Pocillopora cf. capitata, Pocillopora cf. damicornis y Pocilloporacf. verrucosa), ubicadas en 2 sitios (este y oeste) del arrecife Carrizales. Los datos ambientales revelaron mayor incidencia de luz y concen-traciones mas altas de clorofila en las muestras de agua del sitio oeste, lo que sugiere la presencia de al menos 2 microambientes con mayor y menor luz en el arrecife. Como respuesta, las morfoespecies del sitio oeste mostraron una mayor expresion genica y diferencias significativas en el contenido de pigmentos, la densidad de endosimbiontes y los marcadores metabolicos (ARN, ADN y proteinas). Dada la preocupacion por el futuro de los arrecifes, consideramos que el presente estudio puede servir como linea base para el estudio de la plasticidad fisiologica y molecular de los corales Pocillopora de Mexico, y con ello se podran desarrollar estrategias de conservacion para las morfoespecies clave en los arrecifes coralinos de la costa mexicana del Pacifico. EnglishThe greatest threat scleractinian corals face today is accelerated climate change. Assuming that most scleractinians are incapable of genetic adaptation to rapid global changes, the alternative response would be phenotypic plasticity, which is classically described as accli-matization. With the purpose of establishing a baseline for the study of acclimatization in corals of the Pacific coast of Mexico, we assessed the molecular and physiological response of 36 colonies of 3 Pocillopora morphospecies (Pocillopora cf. capitata, Pocillopora cf. damicornis, and Pocillopora cf. verrucosa) located at 2 sites (east and west) on Carrizales Reef. Our results show higher incidence of light and chlorophyll concentrations in seawater samples from the west side, suggesting the presence of at least 2 microenvironments with more and less light in the reef. In response, coral morphospecies from the west side showed higher gene expression and significant differences in pigment concentra-tions, endosymbiont densities, and metabolic markers (RNA, DNA, and proteins). Given the present concern about the future of coral reefs, we consider that the present study could be used as a baseline for the study of the physiological and molecular plasticity of Pocillopora corals in Mexican waters, so conservation strategies could be developed for key morphospecies in coral reefs on the Pacific coast

A basic input for implementing ecosystem-based management measures is the knowledge on fish assemblages exploited by multispecies fisheries, such as the set gill net artisanal fishery in the Gulf of Salamanca (GoS), Caribbean Sea (Colombia), which catches a large number of high-value demersal species. Assemblages of this type were identified in this study, and significant differences ( P < 0.01) between sampling periods (2008 and 2013) and seasons were found by means of a two-way permutational multivariate analysis of variance. These results were consistent with those obtained with the principal coordinates analysis, indicating the occurrence of short-term structural changes in these assemblages. Interannual and seasonal variations in discriminant and typifying species were also identified using similarity percentages, and a decreasing trend in landing per unit effort was established by the bootstrap method. On the other hand, both the geographic location of the fishing grounds and the characterization of historical changes in the set gill nets used in the GoS were determined using the traditional ecological knowledge of local fishermen, who reported a decrease in mesh sizes. In conclusion, temporal variations could be related to changes in the gill nets, the fishing trip schedules, and the spatial distribution of fishing effort, all which occurred in response to the decrease in catch rates in traditional fishing grounds.
