Systematic list of the marine fishes from Ojo de Liebre and Guerrero Negro lagoons, BCS and BC, Mexico

In this work, the first check-list of fishes from Ojo de Liebre (Scammon) Lagoon and Guerrero Negro Lagoon in Baja California Sur and Baja California, Mexico, is presented. These areas belong to Mexico’s largest protected area: El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve. Despite the outstanding features of this...

These areas belong to Mexico’s largest protected area: El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve. Despite the outstanding features of this lagoon complex, there are no studies on its inhabitant fishes nor is there a systematical field collection with records in museums or collections in North America or any other place. The list includes 59 species of 50 genera and 36 families. The 11,864 specimens collected were cured and catalogued in the ichthyological collection of the Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas (CICIMAR-IPN) in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Seven of the species here reported extend their known distribution range northward. One of them was registered for the first time for the Pacific west coast. The presence of tropical and temperate species in these areas confirms the idea of alternate boundaries between zoogeographic regions of California and the Eastern Pacific and establishes these limits with an icthyological mixture at latitude 28ºN. The importance and value of scientific collections is discussed. Se presenta la primera lista sistemática de las especies de peces marinos de las lagunas Ojo de Liebre y Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur y Baja California, México. Estas áreas se hallan incluidas en la Reserva de la Biosfera del Vizcaíno, la zona protegida más grande del país. No obstante la relevancia de este complejo lagunar, no existen estudios sobre sus recursos ictiofaunísticos, como tampoco recolectas sistemáticas de esta biodiversidad íctica en colecciones y museos de Norteamérica e incluso a nivel mundial. La lista incluye 59 especies, 50 géneros y 36 familias, obtenidas bajo un programa sistemático de recolecta en los años de 1994 y 1995. Los 11,864 especímenes recolectados en 39 localidades están depositados en la colección ictiológica del Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas (CICIMAR-IPN) de La Paz, Baja California Sur, México. Siete de las especies aquí reportadas extienden su distribución geográfica conocida hacia el norte, siendo una de ellas un primer registro para la costa occidental del océano Pacífico. La presencia de especies de afinidad templada y tropical en estas áreas confirma la idea de límites alternantes entre las regiones zoogeográficas de California y el Pacífico oriental, estableciendo esta frontera con fenómenos de mezcla íctica hasta la latitud 28ºN.
