“…In this research, S. prismática recorded the greatest size; however C. coralloides is recorded having the greatest length among the species. B. adamsianus has been reported as the smallest species in the MPR 32 [33] [34], also L. (M) aristata [32]. This research also found these species as among those with the smallest recorded length.…”

“…In reports regarding Acapulco, [31] recorded 11 species of the Class Bivalvia; [30] recorded 13 bivalves; [32] reported nine species; [33], eight species and [34] recorded 21 species. Our findings agree with those of the authors mentioned above regarding all species, except the report on Pseudochama inermis (Dall, 1871).…”

The Bivalvia Class, is widely represented in marine ecosystems and is economically important; this research focused on this class and was carried out by sampling the rocky intertidal zone of seven sites located in the Marina Region Priority No. 32, Guerrero, Mexico, where the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity reported lack of knowledge on marine species living there. The objectives were to examine species richness associated with the rocky intertidal zone, determine how the community is composed by the representation of families based on species richness and abundance, know the distribution of the species, analyze the structure sizes of populations and estimate the diversity index. Sampling was conducted at seven sites; the sampling unit was one square meter and the sampling area was 10 m 2 . 32 species were identified. Four species are new records for the Mexican Pacific Transitional: one for the state of Guerrero and one for Marine Priority Region 32. Arcidae and Mytilidae Families were better represented in species richness and Chamidae Family was the best represented in abundance. Chama coralloides was considered to be the representative species of the area; Striostrea prismatica showed the greatest size. The diversity index was estimated (H' = 3.65 bits/individuals). Species richness is high and corresponds to that expected in a tropical area.

“…Flores-Garza et al (2011) reportan para Bivalvia una densidad de 16.35 ind m -2 , y para Polyplacophora 14.45 ind m -2 . El presente estudio encontró una densidad menor para Bivalvia, pero para Polyplacophora reporta una densidad mayor.…”

“…Las diferencias encontradas en este estudio, en cuanto a la representación de familias y a la densidad, con respecto al trabajo de Flores-Garza et al (2011), también se deberían a la diferencia de tipos de sustratos. Flores (2004), reporta a Brachidontes semilaevis, Isognomon janus, Chama echinata y Chiton articulatus como las especies con más alta densidad encontradas en su estudio; Flores-Garza et al (2010) mencionan a Ischnochiton muscarius, Callistoplax retusa, Chaetopleura lurida y Chiton albolineatus como las especies que presentaron mayor densidad; Flores-Garza et al (2011), determinaron a Crassostrea prismatica y Chaetopleura lurida como las especies con mayor densidad. El presente estudio coincide en dos especies, Isognomon janus y Chaetopleura lurida, pero también registra a Cardites grayi y Chiton albolineatus con altas densidades.…”
