Abstract
Larvae and macro-crustaceans along the coastline of the Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano, SW Gulf of Mexico
Highlights
The Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano (PNSAV) was declared a marine protected Biosphere Reserve, within the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Program (UNESCO, 2006)
In the PNSAV, during July to March, tropical storms and hurricanes occur in association with cold fronts and rains, deepening the mixing layer and incorporating nutrients into the photic zone (Zavala-Hidalgo et al, 2006; 2014)
The transport of food inf luences the conformation of the structure of the stage-genera in the northern part of the PNSAV
Summary
The Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano (PNSAV) was declared a marine protected Biosphere Reserve, within the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Program (UNESCO, 2006) This system is composed of several coral reefs and is divided into northern and southern groups by the influence of the river plume of the Jamapa River (Horta-Puga et al, 2016). The best studied group in the PNSAV are decapod crustaceans, which are represented by 183 species of which 90 are Brachyura, 51 Caridea, and 23 Anomura (Álvarez et al, 1996; Hermoso-Salazar and Arvizu-Coyotzi, 2007). Another group of crustaceans well represented in the PNSAV is the superorder Peracarida (Cházaro-Olvera et al, 2018). Another group of crustaceans well represented in the PNSAV is the superorder Peracarida (Cházaro-Olvera et al, 2018). Hermoso-Salazar and Arvizu-Coyotzi (2007) listed 68 species of this superorder, of which 63 % are amphipods, 27 % isopods, 9 % tanaidaceans (Winfield and Ortiz, 2011), and 1 % cumaceans (Scheinvar, 2014)
