“…In such habitats, A. cenotensis may act as an energy facilitator capable of feeding-off a combination of sources, such as soil particulate organic matter that percolates through the porous bedrock into the cave, and algal and vegetative detritus found near the cenote pool [21]. The species also serves as a readily available food source for other predatory stygobiont species [21,62,[65][66][67][68][69]. Therefore, A. cenotensis may play an important role in the food-web dynamics as a mid-level prey in groundwater communities.…”

“…During this study, A. cenotensis was observed coexisting with a variety of animals that included predatory fish species like Ophisternon infernale (Hubbs, 1938), Rhamdia guatemalensis (Günther, 1864), and Typhlias pearsei (Hubbs, 1938), known to feed on smaller crustaceans [21,[65][66][67][68][69]. Decapods like Creaseria morleyi (Creaser, 1936) (Gordon, 1958).…”

We present 52 new geographic location records for the peracarid crustacean Antromysis cenotensis Creaser, 1936, endemic in cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. This species is currently considered threatened and, therefore, is protected by Mexican law. These results arise from several expeditions carried out between 2017 and 2020 in 75 locations within the cenote-ring, the interior, and coastal plains of the peninsula. A comprehensive literature review provided 84 geographic location records since the species was described in 1936. A map with 136 geographic location records that better describe the current species distribution is also included. With this information, plus some notes on the ecology of the species, a comprehensive literature and data review, and a brief analysis regarding the possible factors associated with the confirmed absence of the species in some locations in the state of Yucatan, we provide a brief and condensed summary of the actual knowledge on this particular species. The data in Darwin Core format can be retrieved in Zenodo.

“…Several species of Bythitidae, such as the above-mentioned Grammonus spp., occur in shallow water mesolithion; some are confined to brackish or freshwater, while others are deep-water fishes [117]. While brackish or freshwater Bythitidae from anchialine habitats show troglomorphic adaptation such as the loss of eyes and pigmentation, like Typhlias pearsei Hubbs, 1938 [118], the mesolithial littoral marine species have the typical adaptation of deep-water bythitids, having brown or black pigmentation and small eyes reduced in size [119]. The species Protanguilla palau Johnson, Ida & Sakaue 2012 (Figure 9A) has been described as a "living fossil" from a marine cave, as it represents the only fish family restricted to marine caves, the family Protanguillidae Johnson, Ida & Sakaue 2012.…”

Fishes in marine caves have attracted limited attention by the scientific community in comparison to subterranean fishes which have lost eyes and pigmentation. They constitute a largely unexplored component of marine fish diversity, except for the relatively well-studied marine caves of the Mediterranean Sea. These habitats are characterized by steep environmental gradients of decreasing light and decreasing water exchange. The fishes recorded so far in marine caves are not exclusive residents of this habitat and they are also present at least in the other mesolithial habitats. In the Mediterranean marine caves, 132 fishes have been recorded to date, representing about 17% of the total Mediterranean fish species richness. Most of these species are reported from the anterior cave zones where some light still exists, while a smaller number of species are known from the totally dark zones. Among them, 27.3% are accidental visitors, 53.8% are the regular mesolithial visitors and switchers between mesolithion and open water, 5.3% are permanent residents of the mesolithion, but also occur in other habitats, and 13.6% are exclusive permanent residents of mesolithion. Some mesolithial exclusive permanent residents recorded in marine caves share similar morphology, probably as adaptations to these habitats.
