Settlement and growth of the mussel Modiolus capax (Conrad) (Bivalvia-Mytilidae) on artificial substrates in Bahia de los Angeles, Baja California, Mexico

From March 1985 to February 1986, a study was carried out in order to determine the settlement pattern and growth of Modiolus capax mussels on artificial substrates of anchovy nets and rubber strings suspended in floating structures at three experimental stations in Bahía de los Angeles, Baja Califo...

In September 1987, mussels were gathered from one of the floating structures, which had remained in the ocean since September 1986, in order to analyze the size structure and length-weight relation of the population. The information obtained between March 1985 and February 1986 indicated the possibility of a seasonal recruiting cycle. However, the analysis of the population gathered in September 1987 suggested the existence of a continuous settlement pattern which agrees with the results from similar studies. The implantation of Modiolus capax mussels on rubber strings was scarce and they were only found with relative abundance on mesh and nylon strings with more than two months of immersion in the ocean, previously covered up with filamentous epibiosis mainly formed by the hydroid Obelia dichoroma. Even though Modiolus capax meat weight over the total weight is higher than that of other mussels cultured, its scarce recruiting and slow growth make the possibility of culturing it more difficult. De marzo de 1985 a febrero de 1986 se llevó a cabo un estudio para determinar el patrón de fijación y el crecimiento del mejillón Modiolus capax sobre sustratos artificiales de red anchovetera y hule de neumático suspendidos de estructuras flotantes en tres estaciones experimentales en la Bahía de los Ángeles, Baja California. En septiembre de 1987 se realizó una colecta de los mejillones encontrados en una de las estructuras flotantes que permanecieron en el océano desde febrero de 1986 para analizar la estructura por tallas y la relación longitud-peso de la población. La información obtenida entre marzo de 1985 y febrero de 1986 indicó la posibilidad de un ciclo de reclutamiento estacional; sin embargo, el análisis de la población colectada en septiembre de 1987 sugirió la existencia de un patrón de reclutamiento continuo que concuerda con los resultados de estudios paralelos. La implantación de reclutas del mejillón Modiolus capax sobre las cuerdas de hule de neumático fue escasa y sólo se encontraron con relativa abundancia sobre las cuerdas de malla y nylon con más de dos meses de inmersión en el océano, cubiertas previamente con una epibiosis filamentosa conformada principalmente por el hidroide Obelia dichotoma. Aunque Modiolus capax tuvo una relación del peso de la carne sobre el peso total mayor que la de otros mitílidos cultivados, su escaso reclutamiento y su lento crecimiento dificultan las posibilidades de cultivarlo.
