    Abstract: La distribución espacial de la abundancia de la fauna de fondos blandos en la plataforma continental de Jalisco y Colima (costa del Pacífico de México) fue investigada mediante un censo realizado con redes de arrastre para la pesca de camarón. Se tomaron muestras en siete localidades, a profundidades medias de 20, 40, 60 y 80 m en mayo y junio de 1995. Los índices de abundancia fueron expresados como número de individuos y peso total por unidad de área barrida, expresada en hectáreas. Los valores obtenidos mostraron una varianza muy alta, con intervalos de 30 a 1,952 ind/ha y 0.6 a 110.3 kg/ha para los peces y de 121 a 6,536 ind/ha y 1.0 a 64.5 kg/ha para los invertebrados. Se encontraron diferencias en los índices de abundancia medios entre localidades, pero no se pudo determinar una causa para estas diferencias. Los índices de abundancia medios variaron con la profundidad, probablemente debido a la variación de la temperatura del agua adyacente al fondo. En la profundidad de 60 m se encontró un gran número de peces pequeños, principalmente de las familias Batrachoididae, Scorpaenidae y el orden Pleuronectiformes. A 20 y 40 m se encontró un número de individuos menor pero valores más altos de peso por unidad de área, debido a la dominancia en estos niveles de especies con un peso individual medio mayor, como las de la familia Diodontidae y el orden Rajiformes. Los invertebrados presentaron tallas más uniformes en todo el gradiente de profundidad y fueron más abundantes a 60 m. Las especies de la familia Portunidae fueron dominantes. Spatial distribution of the abundance of the soft-bottom fauna on the continental shelf off Jalisco and Colima (Pacific coast of Mexico) was investigated through a survey with shrimp trawl nets. Samples were taken at seven sites with mean depths of 20, 40, 60 and 80 m during May and June 1995. Abundance indexes are given as number of individuals and total weight per unit of area swept in hectares. The values obtained showed a very high variance, with ranges from 30 to 1.952 ind/ha and 0.6 to 110.3 kg/ha for the fishes. and from 121 to 6,536 ind/ha and 1.0 to 64.5 kg/ha for the invertebrates. Differences in mean abundance indexes between sites were found, but the cause for these was not determined. Mean abundance indexes changed with depth, probably due to changes in the temperature of the water near the bottom. At the depth of 60 m, a high number of small fishes, mainly of the families Batrachoididae, Scorpaenidae and the order Pleuronectiformes, were found. At 20 and 40 m. a lesser mean number of individuals but a higher total weight per unit area were found as a consequence of the predominance in these levels of species with a higher mean individual weight, such as those of the family Diodontidae and the order Rajiformes. Invertebrates had a more uniform size throughout the depth gradient and were more abundant at the depth of 60 m. The species of the family Portunidae were dominant.

    Abstract: Marine snails of the genus Conus have acquired remarkable biomedical importance because of the high number of toxins they produce for feeding and self-defense. One of these toxins gave way to a new medication and two other are under development for clinical and cosmetic purposes. Nevertheless, there is little basic knowledge about this group of species, particularly in Mexico. This study aimed to determine the relative abundance, spatial distribution, bathymetric distribution, and habitat preference of the snail Conus princeps along the southern coast of Jalisco (Mexico). To achieve this goal, we conducted direct samplings by snorkeling or scuba diving at 13 beaches, covering the intertidal, shallow subtidal, and deep subtidal zones. Relative density was between 0.021 and 0.418 snails per 100 m2, with an average value of 0.152 snails per 100 m2. The population showed an aggregated spatial distribution pattern according to the nearest neighbor index. Snails had shells that measured between 23.1 mm and 52.2 mm long, with an average shell size of 39.7 mm. Conus princeps was mainly distributed in the intertidal and shallow subtidal zones. The smaller organisms were present at shallower depths, while the larger organisms were distributed throughout the sampled depth habitats. In general, snail abundance decreased as depth increased. From the underwater photography analysis, we determined that Conus princeps snails prefer rocky bottom habitats covered with brown seaweed.

    Abstract: Se evaluó el estado de explotación del marlin rayado en el Pacífico mexicano con datos históricos (1963-2014) de captura y esfuerzo de flotas comerciales y deportivas, incluso datos de captura incidental. Se estimaron 8 indicadores de abundancia relativa independientes para ajustar un modelo dinámico de biomasa por máxima verosimilitud. Para el periodo más reciente (2015-2019), se evaluó el estado de explotación a través de simulaciones hechas con el modelo ajustado, y se tomó como referencia los datos disponibles de captura por unidad de esfuerzo de las flotas deportivas. Los resultados indicaron que hasta 2014, la abundancia del marlin rayado ha pasado por 3 etapas diferentes. La primera fue una tendencia decreciente de 1964 a 1977, donde las capturas y el esfuerzo de las flotas comerciales excedieron, respectivamente, el máximo rendimiento sostenible (MRS) y el esfuerzo para alcanzar el MRS. La segunda ocurrió de 1977 a 1990, y fue una tendencia estable de baja abundancia, inferior a la abundancia cuando se alcanza el MRS; este cambio se relacionó con la reducción del esfuerzo de las flotas comerciales, aunque con capturas superiores al MRS. La tercera ocurrió de 1990 a 2014, y mostró una tendencia al incremento de la abundancia, debido al cese de operaciones de las flotas comerciales. Este incremento ha sido lento debido al desarrollo de la pesca deportiva y al incremento de las capturas incidentales. Después de 2014, el indicador para las flotas deportivas sugirió un cambio en la abundancia; de acuerdo con las simulaciones, la mortalidad por pesca fue insuficiente para explicar dicho cambio. Se plantea como hipótesis que la mortalidad natural del marlin rayado ha sido alta desde la década de 2010. Se discuten las condiciones que pudieron influir en esta situación y sus implicaciones en el manejo pesquero.

    Abstract: A systematic list of decapod and stomatopod crustaceans of the soft bottoms of the continental shelf off Jalisco and Colima, Mexico, is presented. The specimens were obtained as part of an integral study on the biodiversity and fisheries potential of the marine resources of the eastern tropical Pacific region. Eighty-four shrimp trawls were done at seven localities, with four stations within each locality, at 20, 40, 60 and 80 m depth. The sampling schedule was reapeated three times during one annual cycle (from May 1995 to March 1996) in order to include seasonal changes of the fauna. A total of 60 species is 13.7% of the total reported for the region between Banderas Bay and Guatemala (457 species). Some zoogeographic and biodiversity aspects are discussed that confirm previous results for the region. The extension of geographic ranges for two species is reported.

    Abstract: A description of vertical habitat use by yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, captured and released with archival tags in the Revillagigedo Archipelago Biosphere Reserve, Mexico, during the 2006–2011 period is given. An analysis was made of internal and ambient temperatures, depth, and time of day registered in 68 archival tags recovered from tuna caught mostly in sets associated with dolphins by Mexican purse-seine vessels. Tuna were classified into 3 age groups (I, II, and III) for analyses. Vertical movements were analyzed by dividing the water column into 10 depth strata. The 3 age groups remained the longest in the uppermost stratum (0–25 m), and their presence began to diminish in subsequent strata, with some occasional visits at 〉 500-m depths. In the 〉 500 m stratum, age group III was the one with the longest time investment with 45 min on average. Presence at different depths throughout the day showed significant differences among age groups (Wald’s test expressed as χ2, P 〈 0.05). The physiological adaptation of yellowfin tuna to maintain minimal changes in its internal temperature at different depths gives it the advantage to expand its food search to deep zones where temperature oscillates around 5 ºC.
