Species composition, habitat configuration and seasonal changes of coral reef fish assemblages in western Mexico

Abstract: Summary In spite of their ecological and economic importance, reef fishes from the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico are rarely studied, therefore precluding their management and conservation. In order to identify the set of habitat characteristics/environmental conditions that predict major shifts in fish assemblages in space and time, a stationary census (5′, φ = 5 m) was conducted on a semi‐monthly basis from 2006 to 2009 at patch reefs along the coast. Habitat configuration was gathered using 25 m long point‐interse… Show more

“…Thus, macroalgae, molluscs and fishes were more diverse in summer, and crustaceans and echinoderms in winter. A similar trend, that is higher diversity during warmer periods, had been reported for algae and fishes for the region (Mateo-Cid & Mendoza-González 1991, 1992Mendoza-González et al 1994, Aburto-Oropeza & Balart 2001, Alvarez-Filip et al 2007, Galvan-Villa et al 2011, López-Pérez et al 2012. Reyes-Bonilla and Alvarez-Filip (2008) found the same pattern in reef fishes based on taxonomic distinctness.…”

“…Como se mencionó, T. lucasanum, S. acapulcoensis y Ch. atrilobata, presentaron la mayor abundancia relativa, de manera similar con lo previamente reportado para la zona de estudio (Ramírez-Gutiérrez et al, 2007;López-Pérez et al, 2012;Juárez-Hernández et al, 2013). S. crumenophthalmus y H. thrissina han sido consideradas como visitantes cíclicos en Bahías de Huatulco (Ramírez-Gutiérrez et al, 2007, López-Pérez et al, 2012 y su presencia se encuentra asociada a cuestiones alimentarias, ya que suelen acercarse a la zona costera en los meses donde el efecto de los vientos "Tehuanos" transportan agua rica en nutrientes de esta forma elevando la producción primaria en las bahías (MonrealGómez, & Salas de León, 1998).…”

“…De acuerdo a la prueba de comparación múltiple y prueba por pares de los análisis referidos, la ictiofauna de San Agustín se diferenció del resto de localidades. La tendencia observada y diferenciación de la ictiofauna de San Agustín, coincide con los propuesto por López-Pérez et al (2012). Probablemente, la diferenciación de las comunidades ícticas sea consistente con la diferenciación de las comunidades coralinas de la zona de estudio, la cual es resultado de la variabilidad en el número de especies coralinas y diversidad entre localidades (López-Pérez, & Hernán-dez-Ballesteros; 2004).…”
