“…Most studies on echinoderms in Mexico are taxonomic, and little information has been published on the ecology of echinoderms in this region (Solís-Marín et al, 2014). We found ophiuroids in a salinity range of 18 to 42, providing evidence that these organisms may live in brackish and even in hyperhaline environments (Salamon et al, 2012).…”

“…For example, Durán-González et al (2005) reported 49 species of ophiuroids in the Gulf of Mexico, while Hernández-Herrejón et al (2008) reported 68 species, and Solís-Marín et al (2013) in the most recent review reported 79 species. In Mexico, the class Ophiuroidea represent approximately 40% (197 species) of the total species recorded (Solís-Marín et al, 2014). New records and range extensions for species of ophiuroids are often reported in the literature (Solís-Marín et al, 2015).…”

We present the first records of ophiuroids found in 6 tropical coastal lagoons of the northern Yucatán Peninsula. Specimens were collected from Ría Celestún, Chelem, Dzilam, Ría Lagartos, Yalahau, and Nichupté-Bojórquez lagoons, during May and June 2010. Six species belonging to the families Amphiuridae, Ophionereididae, and Ophiodermatidae were recorded. Amphiodia pulchella was recorded in all lagoons; Ophiostigma isocanthum was recorded only in Yalahau, and Ophionereis olivacea and Ophioderma appressa were recorded only in Nichupté-Bojórquez. Amphiodia cf. planispina was recorded in all the coastal lagoons except in Yalahau; all the individuals of this species were juveniles. Finally, Ophiophragmus filograneus was recorded in Ría Celestún, Ría Lagartos, and Nichupté-Bojórquez, being a new record for the southern Gulf of Mexico. The range of distribution of these species is extended and their presence in brackish waters is recorded, an environment that has not been properly studied concerning ophiuroids.

“…En la zona litoral marina de Veracruz, se han descrito 116 especies de equinodermos que incluyen estrellas de mar, crinoideos, erizos, ofiuros y holoturoideos (Durán-González et al 2005, Solís-Marín et al 2014. En el caso particular del Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano (SAV), se han reportado las especies de pepino de mar Isostichopus badionotus, Holothuria floridana, Actinopyga agassizii, Holothuria arenícola, Holothuria mexicana, Holothuria grisea, Holothuria surinamensis y Eostichopus arnesonii (Durán-González et al 2005, Solís-Marín et al 2007, las cuales son de interés comercial a nivel mundial (Purcell et al 2012).…”

Abstract.-Throughout snorkeling and scuba diving ten study zones (sampling banks established in previous research by Instituto Nacional de Pesca -INAPESCA) were evaluated where the presence of the sea cucumber was reported. By line transect sea cucumbers were censed and collected to be measured and weighed, as well as their habitat characteristics were recorded. A total of 138 stations in the Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano (SAV), equivalent to 37.794 m 2 of reef area sampled in the north and south were analyzed. In just 25 sampling points there were found Holothuria floridana (associated to seagrass and sand habitat, 0-1.5 m deep, with total length average of 10.88 cm and fresh weight average of 64.09 g) and Isostichopus badionotus (associated to sand and live coral habitat, 1.5-15 m deep, total length average of 27.2 cm and fresh weight of 769.19 g). The average density of the total banks evaluated was 0.008 ind.m -2. Results indicate that sea cucumber population in SAV is fragmented (patchiness or aggregation sites) and is not susceptible of exploitation (low density of individuals per unit area). As a management measure, some banks were suggested as potential sites in which there was a major presence of sea cucumber, with the purpose of monitoring these areas and evaluate the density of the population. This research and its results offer a current status about the fishing potential of the sea cucumber so that in the future, it will allow the suggestion to investigate their culture for the natural repopulation for a sustainable use of this marine resource in the region.

“…Si bien, las citadas contribuciones científicas son importantes para las costas mexicanas del Golfo de México, se ha recomendado que es necesario generar más información sobre la abundancia y densidad de los equinodermos y su relación con ambientes bióticos y abióticos (incluyendo datos poblacionales como crecimiento, reproducción y alimentación) (Solís-Marín et al 2013) en especial en ecosistemas poco explorados (Solís-Marín et al 2014).…”

Diversidad y abundancia de los equinodermos y su relación con la cobertura bentónica del arrecife Enmedio, Sistema Arrecifal Lobos-Tuxpan, México

Hasta la fecha, en el Área Natural Protegida, Sistema Arrecifal Lobos-Tuxpan, aún se desconoce la ecología comunitaria de los equinodermos. Por ello, fueron contabilizadas especies de equinodermos en el arrecife Enmedio, utilizando cuadrantes de 1 m2. Los cuadrantes fueron colocados a cada 5 m sobre tres transectos de 50 m de largo en el arrecife posterior, laguna arrecifal y arrecife frontal. Con los datos obtenidos se estimaron riqueza de especies, abundancia, densidad, equitatividad, dominancia de Simpson y diversidad verdadera. Asimismo, se determinaron similitudes entre las zonas de muestreo mediante análisis de similitud y ordenación. También se realizó un análisis de correspondencia canónica utilizando como variable ambiental la cobertura bentónica. Se cuantificó un total de 5 569 equinodermos, identificándose cinco clases, 10 órdenes, 16 familias, 19 géneros y 23 especies. La densidad de equinodermos en el arrecife fue de 11.23 ind/m2; las especies más importantes en abundancia y densidad fueron: Echinometra viridis (3 389 organismos; 6.85 ind/m2) y Echinometra lucunter lucunter (1 803 organismos; 3.64 ind/m2). En la laguna arrecifal se registró mayor riqueza, abundancia y densidad de equinodermos, en comparación con las zonas profundas. Los tres ambientes arrecifales, mostraron altos valores de dominancia y bajos valores de diversidad verdadera. Las zonas de muestreo presentaron baja similitud y no manifestaron una zonación distintiva entre ambientes arrecifales. Solamente diez especies de equinodermos tuvieron afinidades con la cobertura de corales, macroalgas, algas filamentosas y escombros, estos sustratos parecen ser factores claves en la distribución y abundancia de los equinodermos en el arrecife Enmedio.
