Ecologists examine diet composition in order to assess the spatial and temporal variations interactions between species, impact of different species traits on ecological network structure, long-term effects removal by small-scale fisheries. In this study, our goal was compare diets silky sharks ( Carcharhinus falciformis ) scalloped hammerhead Sphyrna lewini off south-west coast Mexico infer their preferences distributions. We sampled 164 S. (96 stomachs had food, 68 were empty) 183 C. (30...

Strandings provide valuable information about rare marine organisms and their relationship with environment. In the southern Gulf of México, specifically on central coast Campeche, Mexico, strandings oceanic cetaceans have rarely been recorded, therefore, biological has also scarce. One such stranding cases occurred September 7, 2022, Seybaplaya, Campeche. The specimen was identified as a female Tursiops truncatus morphology features ecotype. carcass examined shortly after death, samples for...

Abstract Using data from analyses of stomach contents and stable isotopes, we examined high‐resolution variations in the feeding habits trophic position Dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus during 2005–2007. In total, 418 specimens were collected off southern Baja California peninsula, Mexico. Based on analysis (% index relative importance [%IRI]), consumed mainly epipelagic prey, with red crab Pleuroncodes planipes as most abundant prey species. The diet was highly similar between sexes but...

The study of the feeding habits variability (spatial and temporal scales) allows us to evaluate trophic interactions between species, thus, short long-term effects removal different species by presence phenomena. In this study, we carried out stable isotope (δ13C δ15N) stomach content analyses infer linkages two snapper (Lutjanus synagris Lutjanus griseus) captured in littoral Campeche, Mexico. total, 781 specimens were collected (528 L. 253 based on relative importance index [%PSIRI] both...

Rationale The jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas is a fishery resource of considerable economic and ecological importance in the Mexican Pacific. Studies on its habitat preferences are needed to understand recent fluctuations abundance availability species. Stable isotope analysis allows us infer aspects such as spatial distribution trophic preferences. Methods We used an ratio mass spectrometer, automated for carbonate analysis, coupled elemental analyzer, determine isotopic composition statoliths...

Abstract The Terminos Lagoon Flora and Fauna Protection Area is the largest coastal lagoon in southern Gulf of Mexico has population bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus , reported region. Photo identification studies have permanent seasonal residence dolphins; however, how dolphins coexist ecologically unknown. In present study, from 17 dead specimens stranded on coast Isla del Carmen (barrier island) between 2014 2016, stable isotopes liver, heart, muscle, which represent different time...

The Pacific sharpnose shark Rhizoprionodon longurio is caught seasonally by inshore artisanal fisheries in the Mexican Pacific. Our study focuses on feeding ecology of this species southern Gulf California. prey obtained from stomach contents were identified and quantified, variations between sexes maturity stages determined. A total 98 stomachs analysed during two periods (2000–2001 2003–2004); 64% contained food. trophic spectrum was composed four cephalopod species, three crustacean 13...
