There are many marine protected areas (MPAs) containing coral reef aggregations in the eastern Pacific region. However, connectivity of corals between MPAs is still poorly known, especially Marine Conservation Corridor Eastern Tropical (MCCETP). Here, we assess potential across equatorial through a Lagrangian particle-tracking algorithm coupled offline with an ocean-circulation numerical model. Connectivity metrics and graph theory were used to analyze networks highlight those that critical...
Abstract Corals in the Eastern Pacific extend south from Gulf of California to Ecuador and oceanic Chile, west Colombia Clipperton Atoll. Nevertheless, large stretches Mexican remain fundamentally unstudied. Therefore, assess current conditions coral communities, a coastal fringe ∼300 km long (17°40′ N, 101°39′ W 16°46′ 99°49′ W) was surveyed within Southern Pacific, between 2005 2009. Fifteen stony species were identified at 13 communities six Pocillopora ‐dominated fringing reefs, with...
Abstract Various authors have suggested that the Islas Marias archipelago, Mexico, may play a significant biogeographic role in dispersal of Indo Pacific coral species into Eastern Pacific; however, communities this archipelago received scarce attention to date. Here, we first addressed community structure across islands and, by employing ordination analysis, minimum spanning tree and particle‐tracking experiments, used information evaluate relevance for dispersal. Twenty‐four were recorded...
The new pelagic Operational Observatory of the Catalan Sea (OOCS) for coordinated multisensor measurement atmospheric and oceanographic conditions has been recently installed (2009) in (41°39'N, 2°54'E; Western Mediterranean) continuously operated (with minor maintenance gaps) until today. This multiparametric platform is moored at 192 m depth, 9.3 km off Blanes harbour (Girona, Spain). It composed a buoy holding sensors set measuring water over upper 100 depth. station located close to head...
Since 2014, the global land and sea surface temperature has scaled 0.23 °C above decadal average (2009–2018). Reports indicate that Mediterranean Sea temperatures have been rising at faster rates than in ocean. Oceanographic time series of physical biogeochemical data collected from an onboard a multisensor mooring array northwestern (Blanes submarine canyon, Balearic Sea) during 2009–2018 revealed abrupt since line with regional warming. oligotrophic conditions water column intensified,...
Abstract. Marine biophysical models can be used to explore the displacement of individuals in and between submarine canyons. Mostly, studies focus on shallow hydrodynamics or around a single canyon. In northwestern Mediterranean Sea, knowledge deep-sea circulation its spatial variability three contiguous canyons is limited. We Lagrangian framework with three-dimensional velocity fields from two versions Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) study deep-bottom connectivity compare their...
In this study, trophic ecology of Octopus hubbsorum (Berry, 1953) was examined in relation to the species life cycle and dry rainy seasons. A total 184 individuals were obtained from commercial artisanal catches at different localities along coast Oaxaca, Mexican tropical Pacific, January 2011 December 2012. Analysis digestive tract contents revealed that O. preyed upon 43 prey belonging five zoological groups (Crustacean, Mollusca, Teleostei, Echinodermata Polychaeta), cannibalism only...
Carcharhinus falciformis is an abundant oceanic species, which occurs in equatorial and tropical zones, with important catch the Atlantic Pacific coasts of Mexico. Samples were taken from December 2000 to 2007 four landing sites artisanal fleet on coast Oaxaca. During period study 1236 specimens (602 females 634 males) C. registered. Total length (TL) ranged 49 217 cm for (mean = 111.3 cm) 59 265 males 111.7 cm). The sex ratio was 1:1 ( 2 0.05 0.78, P > 0.05). present data suggest a size...

Several sightings of different pinniped species have been recorded outside their typical areas distribution. In May 2019, yearlings were sighted on 4 occasions the central coast Oaxaca, Mexico. One them was found injured in La Escobilla (Oaxaca, Mexico) and transported immediately to Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga for rehabilitation. Visual identification inconclusive, as young individuals several fur seal can be very similar. A molecular analysis thus performed confirm species. DNA extracted...
