These species are captured incidentally in shrimp fi sheries and commercialized locally. Nevertheless, the number of species from the zone is uncertain, and there are numerous taxonomic problems in the group that limit the accurate identifi cation of species and complicate the proper elaboration of the fi sheries record. Morphological and morphometric analyses were performed using a canonical variable analysis (CVA) of 530 organisms. Six groups were separated a priori based on the shape of the funnel organ. Based on the observed differences, four species were recognized:

El uso de sensores remotos en la investigación ha permitido realizar análisis a escalas que anteriormente resultaba muy difícil llevar a cabo. En este trabajo se utilizaron imágenes de satélite tipo MODIS para analizar el comportamiento promedio y la tendencia sostenida del NDVI por pixel en la región meridional de la península de Baja California durante el periodo 2001-2015. En total se analizaron 1 377 985 pixeles, de los cuales el 67.04% mostró valores de NDVI promedio entre 0.1 y 0.3 consistentes para zonas áridas. No obstante, se observaron valores >0.5 en las porciones de mayor cobertura vegetal en zonas elevadas, y los máximos valores (>0.8) se hallaron dentro de la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra La Laguna (RBSL), en el sur de la península. El análisis de la tendencia reveló que en esta misma zona de la RBSL, los valores de tendencia del NDVI son negativos, lo que indica pérdida del vigor de la vegetación. Valores de tendencia negativa tuvieron alta correspondencia también con las zonas de mayor densidad poblacional y mayor desarrollo turístico alrededor de la RBSL, lo que permite inferir que en toda la región sur de la península existe una fuerte presión que ocasiona cambios en el sistema. Su magnitud tendrá que ser evaluada para determinar si se trata de cambios estructurales solamente o si ya se presentan también cambios funcionales. Esperamos que este primer esfuerzo siente las bases para investigaciones futuras que coadyuven a la toma de decisiones y planes de desarrollo en la región.

Para conocer y caracterizar la comunidad bentónica de la Laguna Guerrero Negro, se realizaron seis muestreos mensuales en 10 estaciones de julio a diciembre 2012. Los muestreos se realizaron mediante buceo autónomo en cuadrantes de 0,50 m 2 entre 5 y 12 m de profundidad, durante los períodos de sicigia. La información fue analizada mediante indicadores ecológicos y análisis estadísticos multivariados. Los resultados muestran que la comunidad bentónica marina está representada por 229 especies correspondientes a 11 filos, siendo los moluscos el grupo que presentó mayor riqueza específica (95 especies), y los artrópodos el de mayor abundancia (7543 individuos). Los indicadores ecológicos denotaron patrones similares en el dominio del tiempo con excepción de julio para el indicador de riqueza (S) en cuyo caso el valor fue más bajo (88) que el resto de los meses (S = 105); y alta heterogeneidad en el dominio espacial, encontrando diferencias estadísticas significativas en los valores de los indicadores ecológicos entre estaciones de muestreo. Se identificaron dos ensambles (grupos A y B) mediante un análisis de escalamiento multidimensional. El grupo A integrado por las estaciones asociadas a los canales secundarios de la laguna, con menor resistencia a la corriente y menor influencia oceánica, en cuyo caso los indicadores ecológicos denotaron que éstas son mayormente ricas y diversas que el resto; mientras que el grupo B está compuesto por las estaciones ubicadas en el canal principal de la laguna, con corrientes más dinámicas y con mayor influencia del océano, sugieren una estratificación espacial permanente en el tiempo, principalmente influenciada por los patrones dinámicos de corrientes de la laguna.

Sin embargo, a pesar de que el servicio ecosistémico recreativo de playa es uno de los más conspicuos en el sistema, a la fecha se desconocen trabajos relacionados con la valoración de este servicio, así como del segmento de población que permita estimar el excedente al consumidor (EC). Con este objetivo, en el presente trabajo se consideraron los métodos de preferencias revelados (Costo de Viaje) aplicados a los visitantes y se calculó el excedente del consumidor de recreación de playa de Los Cabos como destino turístico. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta bilingüe cerrada cara a cara a turistas que se hospedaron en hoteles con categorías de tres, cuatro y cinco estrellas en las localidades de San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas y el Corredor Turístico de Los Cabos. La muestra obtenida fue de 139 encuestas. Se estimó una función de demanda recreativa con el tratamiento econométrico de un modelo Poisson y reveló un resultado del EC de USD $588.24 por día en promedio y por estadía por visitante se calculó en USD$ 4,941.22 con un promedio de 8.4 días. El destino turístico de Los Cabos desde que se creó como polo de desarrollo ha funcionado para la diversificación de otros productos turísticos, como por ejemplo localidades cercanas, áreas naturales protegidas, "pueblos mágicos", pesca deportiva, buceo. La implementación de políticas públicas alineadas a la sustentabilidad de los servicios recreativos en las diferentes zonas permitirá canalizar beneficios económicos e impactar en las esferas social, económica y ambiental de las comunidades locales.

We processed the statoliths of 191 squid (144 females and 47 males) caught off western Baja California during 2004. The oldest male was 391 days old (mature at 690 mm dorsal mantle length,ML) and the oldest female was 433 days old (mature at 700 mm ML). Birth dates for both sexes were concentrated in January, indicative of a reproductive peak. Jumbo squid growth was best described by the logistic model. The largest females were larger (100 mm ML) and lived longer (1.4 months) than the largest males.The maximum daily growth rate in females was 2.09 mm per day (at 220 days; 407.6 mm ML) and in males was 2.1 mm per day (at 200 days; 365.9 mm ML). Finally,we conclude that squid from the Gulf of California grow faster than squid from off the western coast of Baja California.

However, to date no studies to support this assumption have been conducted. The present work tests the hypothesis that female jumbo squid do not die after a single reproductive event and provides evidence of the presence of postovulatory follicles (Pof) in females of different sizes. They indicates previous spawning in females in which they are present. Histological analysis was performed on reproductive structures of 73 female jumbo squid from the northwest of Mexico using hematoxylin-eosin staining. Using image analysis five ovarian stages were identified: (I) previtellogenesis, (II) vitellogenesis, (III) postvitellogenesis, (IV) spawning (in which 3.73% show atresia and the presence of Pof) and (V) Postspawning, in which a higher proportion (4.86%) show atresia and Pof. It is already known that the jumbo squid has asynchronic ovarian development with partial spawning during the reproductive period. However, the consistent presence of postovulatory follicles and the presence of oocytes of different sizes and development support the hypothesis that the jumbo squid is a multiple spawner with more than one reproductive event during its life cycle.

It was based mostly on bibliographic data and provides a snapshot of how the ecosystem operates. The model consisted of 29 functional groups. The total system throughput was 6633 tonnes/km 2 per year, from which 51.7% are for internal consumption, 20.0% are for respiration, 16.0% becomes detritus, and 12.2% are removed through commercial fishing. Main results show that most groups were impacted more by predation and competition than by fishing pressure, and that there are some characteristics that indicate that use of the ecosystem is balanced.

Measurements of statoliths from squids belonging to the family Loliginidae were also included to increase certainty. Species were identified with a 100% correct assignment; hence, statolith shape confirmed the taxonomic value of this structure. A description of statolith morphology for each target species is provided for further use in species identification when other morphological characteristics of the squids are not available.

Brown shrimp Farfantepenaeus californiensis migrate to an oVshore habitat at the juvenile stage or even a smaller body size. This paper presents results of monthly samplings from 24 stations over 1 year in the Agiabampo Lagoon complex, a hypersaline lagoon in northwestern Mexico. Five species of penaeid shrimp were identiWed, with brown shrimp the most abundant during the year of sampling. Results suggest that residency of brown shrimp inside this lagoon is longer than reported in previous studies. An interaction between length and environmental variables (near-surface temperature, salinity, and rainfall) appear to be cues concerning migration. Communicated by P.W. Sammarco.

Despite the fisheries potential loliginid squids have in Mexico, the group is scarcely known and no formal management has been implemented. A total of 1,105 squids captured on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Mexico were measured to estimate length-weight relations and condition factors. Except for Lolliguncula brevis and Lolliguncula argus, all species showed negative allometric growth. The 2 species with isometric growth showed a poor condition, according to Fulton's condition factor, and the rest of the species were in good health, according to the relative condition factor. The type of growth exhibited by the species identified in this study could be associated with their swimming habits or otherwise be affected by the same variables that determine the type of growth of other squid found in Mexican waters. The parameters evaluated in this research are now available for incorporation in further fishery stock assessment models for loliginid squids.

Changes in abundance may be related to population size of some commercially important species that feed on them. Only two of the myctophid species reported for the Gulf of California were found in the present study: Benthosema panamense and Triphoturus mexicanus. The highest abundance and biomass of myctophids were found during the warm season (June and September), with B. panamense being the most abundant species (20,954 ind 1000 m-3), as well as the one with highest biomass (17,165.8 g 1000 m-3). B. panamese had a size mode interval of 35-40 mm, while T. mexicanus presented a size mode interval of 40-45 mm; both species had negative allometric growth. During the temperate season (February and April) B. panamense was distributed in the northwest, west, and southern regions around the island, while T. mexicanus was found in the north, west, and southern regions. During the warm season B. panamense was found distributed around the entire island and T. mexicanus was found in the west, south, and east regions of the island. These species are common around San Pedro Martir Island, with the highest values of abundance and biomass occurring during summer upwelling's.
