Lista de los peces de Tuxpan, Veracruz, México | Checklist of fishes from Tuxpan, Veracruz, Mexico
Resumen
En este trabajo se presenta una lista sistemática de los peces del municipio de Tuxpan, Veracruz con base en los muestreos efectuados de 2007 a 2012 en los ecosistemas costeros. Para esto se hicieron 282 censos visuales y se colectaron 772 ejemplares en los arrecifes coralinos, además de la revisión de 132 organismos procedentes de las capturas camaronera y atunera. Se listan 372 especies pertenecientes a 221 géneros y 93 familias que representan el 71 % de la ictiofauna
veracruzana. Se incluyen 13 nuevos registros, entre ellos Pterois volitans. Las familias con mayor riqueza fueron: Sciaenidae (22 especies), Serranidae (22 especies), Carangidae (18 especies) y Gobiidae (18 especies). En la ictiofauna tuxpeña destacan los componentes marino y estuarino que comparten 109 especies. A pesar de que es una de las faunas de Veracruz mejor conocidas, se sugiere aumentar el esfuerzo de investigación en los sistemas marinos y dulceacuícolas.
Palabras clave: Ictiofauna, inventario, Veracruz.
ABSTRACT
A systematic checklist of fishes from Tuxpan, Veracruz is presented in this paper, based in sampling done from 2007 to 2012 on coastal ecosystems. For this purpose, 282 visual censuses were done and 772 specimens were collected at coral reefs, as well as 132 fishes pertained to shrimp and tuna fisheries were studied. 372 fish species belonging to 221 genera and
93 families which represent 71 % of Veracruz´s ichthyofauna. 13 new records are included, between these, Pterois volitans. The families with highest number of species were: Sciaenidae (22 species), Serranidae (22 species), Carangidae (18 species) and Gobiidae (18 species). Estuarine and marine components were the most important in Tuxpan’s ichthyofauna and they share 109 species. In spite of this fauna is well known, we suggest to enhance the research in marine and fresh water
ecosystems.
