Temporal shifts in the abundance and feeding of a marine fish community in a coastal lagoon in southeastern Mexico
description Coastal lagoons are systems that are dominated by the environmental variability caused by seasonal or diel cycles, with a direct effect on fish community composition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the species composition of the fish communities on 2 seasonal scales and analyze the diet composition of marine fish species that use the lagoon at some stage of their life cycles. The study took place in the Carbonera lagoon on the northern coast of Yucatán. Fishes were collected bimonthly (from December 2010 to October 2011) every 2 h using a beach seine net over 24-h cycles. Hydrologic variables and fish community composition were evaluated at nychthemeral and seasonal scales, and significant changes in temperature and salinity were observed. Species richness and diversity of fishes were higher during the night time, with marine species like pigfish (Orthopristis chrysoptera), silver perch (Bairdiella chrysoura), striped mojarra (Eugerres plumieri), and grunts (Haemulon plumieri). Abundance was highest during the daytime because of the presence of schools of juvenile herrings (Harengula clupeola) and residents species (Floridichthys polyommus and Fundulus persimilis). The diet composition of 10 juvenile marine species were analyzed, and four main trophic guilds (piscivores, detritivores, mollusk feeders, and zoobenthivores) were found. The juvenile marine species of commercial value that use the Carbonera lagoon for feeding purposes are mullets, herrings, and grunts. Thus, this system provides resources for juvenile species that are important in artisanal fisheries, and it is therefore very important to make management plans for its protection and conservation.

Las lagunas costeras son sistemas dominados por la variabilidad ambiental ocasionada por ciclos estacionales o nictémeros, lo cual influye directamente en la composición de especies como la de los peces. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la variación en la composición de la comunidad de peces a 2 escalas temporales y analizar la dieta de especies marinas que utilizan la laguna en alguna etapa de su ciclo de vida. El estudio se realizó en la laguna Carbonera en la costa norte de Yucatán, México. Se recolectaron peces cada 2 h con un chinchorro playero durante un ciclo de 24 h, en campañas bimestrales de diciembre de 2010 a octubre de 2011. Las variables hidrológicas registradas y la comunidad de peces se evaluaron a escala nictémera y estacional, y se observaron cambios significativos en la temperatura y la salinidad. La riqueza específica y la diversidad de peces fueron mayores durante la noche, cuando se registraron especies marinas como los armados (Orthopristis chrysoptera), las corvinas (Bairdiella chrysoura), las mojarras (Eugerres plumieri) y los roncos (Haemulon plumierii). La mayor abundancia se obtuvo durante las horas de luz debido a la presencia de cardúmenes de juveniles de sardina (Harengula clupeola) y especies residentes (Floridichthys polyommus y Fundulus persimilis). Se analizó la alimentación de 10 especies de peces marinos en estadio juvenil, y se identificaron 4 principales gremios tróficos (piscívoros, detritívoros, malacófagos y zoobentófagos). Las especies marinas en estadio juvenil de importancia comercial que utilizan la laguna Carbonera para alimentación son las lisas, las sardinas y los roncos. Por lo tanto, este sistema brinda recursos a juveniles de especies de gran importancia para la pesca artesanal, por lo que es de suma importancia elaborar estrategias de manejo para su protección y conservación. 2021-04-29 2021-06-03T03:55:44Z 2021-06-03T03:55:44Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitrado https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/3103 10.7773/cm.v47i1.3103 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7582 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/3103/420420557 Copyright (c) 2021 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 47 No. 1 (2021); 17–32 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 47 Núm. 1 (2021); 17–32 2395-9053 0185-3880
