Hábitos alimenticios del lenguado panámico Cyclopsetta panamensis (Paralichthyidae) en el Sureste del Golfo de California

Abstract

The feeding habits of the Panamic flounder Cyclopsetta panamensis caught in the SE Gulf of California were studied. The specimens were collected by demersal fish surveys during the years 2004-2008. The panamic flounder is a predator focusing mainly on crustaceans inhabiting the bottom belonging to Squillidae and Penaeidae. The diet of the Panamic flounder did not vary significantly according to depth or sex, and not size related variations in the diet composition were observed. Based on the TROPH value, the Panamic flounder can be considered as a top carnivore from the demersal community in the Gulf of California.

“…Furthermore, these zones serve as transit areas for the predators of penaeids. Local studies have reported predator species such as swimming crabs of the genus Callinectes and fishes, such as the snooks Centropomus robalito and C. nigrescens; the flounder Cyclopsetta panamensi; the catfish Ariopsis seemani; the snappers Lutjanus argentiventris and L. novemfasciatus; and the milkfish Chanos chanos (Sepúlveda-Medina 1981, Amezcua andPortillo 2010).…”

Hábitos tróficos del lenguado Citharicthys gilberti (Paralichthyidae) y su relación con las dinámica ambiental en la Bahía de Buenaventura, Pacífico colombiano

“…These results coincide with those recorded for the family Paralichthyidae and the genus Citharichthys in previous research (Vargas et al, 1999;Flores et al, 2013), which also found polychaetes to be important prey items. In this sense, some studies have shown that smaller flounder species, such as that examined in this case, are principally characterized as eaters of crabs (Labbé and Arana, 2001;Amezcua and Portillo, 2010) in contrast to larger species, which include an equal or greater percentage of fish among their principal prey (Latour et al, 2008).…”

“…In addition, the way in which fish feed produces an exchange of materials and energy within the trophic web, thereby sustaining an ecological niche in the ecosystem (Guevara et al, 2007). For this reason, an understanding of trophic ecology provides important information on the dynamics and structure of the community (Cogua et al, 2013), making it possible to mitigate and counter the potential impacts to which a community might be susceptible (Amezcua and Portillo, 2010). Fish of the Paralichthyidae family are lefteye flounders and generally found in coastal environments (Robertson and Allen, 2015), usually on ocean and estuarine bottoms (Lopez et al, 2014), where juvenile flounders encounter appropriate conditions to feed and grow (Flores et al, 2013).…”

Alimentación de los lenguados Cyclopsetta querna y Syacium latifrons en la costa de Jalisco y Colima, México

“…Existen pocos trabajos de alimentación en pleuronectiformes (Amezcua y Portillo 2010; Amezcua et al 2010;Flores Ortega et al 2013). La gran mayoría tratan otros aspectos biológicos y ecológicos como son la edad y crecimiento, distribución y abundancia, o solo se limitan a mencionarlos en listados taxonómicos (Murakami y Amoka 1992; Aceves-Medina et al 2003;Khidir et al 2005;Rodiles-Hernández et al 2005;Rodríguez Ibarra 2006; Rojas y Zapata 2006; Rodríguez Romero et al 2008;Tobón-López et al 2008;López Martínez at al.…”
