Lista sistemática de la ictiofauna de la Reserva de la Biosfera La Encrucijada, Chiapas, México

Abstract

REBIEN), durante un periodo comprendido de 2004 a 2009. El elenco sistemático consta de 153 especies, que se incluyen en 2 clases, 20 órdenes, 52 familias y 107 géneros. Se registran por primera vez 9 especies para los ambientes continentales del estado de Chiapas, 4 en hábitat estuarino-lagunar en México: Cathorops cf. fuerthii, Trichiurus nitens, Guavina micropus y Gobionellusliolepis, las 2 últimas con distribución ahora extendida para el Pacífico mexicano. Destaca la presencia del cíclido exótico Oreochromis niloticus. Las familias más representativas fueron Carangidae (14 especies), Sciaenidae (11), Gobiidae (10) y Ariidae (9). Por su origen ecogeográfico, 4 especies (2.6%) son dulceacuícolas primarias, 13 (8.5%) dulceacuícolas secundarias y 134 (88.9%) periféricas; del conjunto periférico,3 especies (2%) son catádromas, 11 (7.2%) residentes estuarinas, 56 (36.6%) marinas eurihalinas y 66 (43.1%) marinas estenohalinas. Desde el punto de vista biogeográfico, 91.2% de las especies se distribuyen en el Pacífico oriental, de las cuales el 47.7% se encuentran en la Provincia Californiana, 65.4% en la Provincia de Cortés, 80.4% en la Provincia Panámica y 41.2% en la Provincia Peruviana. La REBIEN contiene una riqueza íctica comparativamente mayor a la registrada en ambientes estuarino-lagunares de otras regiones costeras del Pacífico mexicano.Palabras clave: peces estuarinos,

The influence of habitat on the spatio-temporal dynamics of fish assemblages in a lagoon-estuarine system of the Mexican Pacific

“…However, in the first case, comparisons between the fish assemblages should be taken with caution, due to the difference in the sampling effort and method. In the second case, the sampling was more comparable with this study, and differences in richness and composition may be due to less marine influence due to mouth dynamics (Gómez-González et al, 2012). Although it has been pointed out that the use of a single fishing gear results in a biased sample of the assemblage (Clement et al, 2014), in estuarine wetlands the use of cast nets is highly effective for achieving a broad taxonomic representation in several shallow habitats, and with accurate estimate of abundances (Sheaves et al, 2007;Sheaves & Johnston, 2009).…”

“…The Gulf of Tehuantepec in the Mexican Southern Pacific is one of the most important fishing areas (Bakun et al, 1999;Ortega-García et al, 2000;Wilkinson et al, 2009). This region has an extensive belt of lagoon-estuarine systems surrounded by mangroves that shelters one of the richest areas for fish fauna in the Tropical Mexican Pacific (Gómez-González et al, 2012;González-Acosta et al, 2017). The environmental differences between the geomorphic habitats that integrate these systems make them good models to test the spatial effect of its characteristics on biotic assemblages.…”

Checklist of the continental fishes of the state of Chiapas, Mexico, and their distribution

“…In addition, we performed an extensive literature review for records of continental fishes of Chiapas. The checklists previously published by Lozano-Vilano and Contreras-Balderas (1987), Rodiles-Hernández (2005), Rodiles-Hernández et al (2005), Espinosa-Pérez et al (2011), and Velázquez-Velázquez et al (2013) were taken as the basis for this work and were supplemented with publications by Lazcano-Barrero and Vogt (1992), Tapia-García et al (1998), Rodiles-Hernández et al (1999), Lozano-Vilano et al (2007) and Gómez-González et al (2012, 2015) who developed lists for particular regions of the state. We also included Castro-Aguirre et al (1999) and Miller et al (2005).…”

The first comprehensive publication on continental fishes of Chiapas was made by Velasco-Colín (1976), who reported 74 species distributed across 28 families.…”

The fish fauna of three lagoon-estuarine systems in the northeastern Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexican south Pacific

“…Although the demersal fish fauna in the GT is relatively well characterized (Bianchi, 1991;Martínez-Muñoz et al, 2016;Núñez-Orozco et al, 2013;Tapia-García, 1998), studies focused on coastal lagoons are rather scarce, despite their importance as nurseries and feeding sites for many commercial species (Contreras, 2010). The information available on the composition of estuarine ichthyofauna in the GT is restricted to some inventories in the northern region (Chávez, 1979;Tapia-García et al, 1998) and the Biosphere Reserve "La Encrucijada" (Díaz-Ruiz et al, 2006;Gómez-González et al, 2012).…”
