- ¿Controla la biomasa de pastos marinos la densidad de los peracáridos (Crustacea: Peracarida) en lagunas tropicales? Ignacio Winfield Sergio Cházaro-Olvera Fernando Álvarez Biología Gulf of Mexico Ruppia maritima Alvarado Lagoon System Does sea-grass biomass control the density of peracarids (Crustacea: Peracarida) in tropicallagoons? We analyzed the time-space variation of the peracarid crustaceans that inhabit seagrasses of the AlvaradoLagoon System, Veracruz, Gulf of Mexico. The organisms were collected from 108 samples in six sites withRuppia maritima beds (December 1992 to November 1994). The assemblage was composed of 11 species. Eightspecies of Amphipoda (Hourstonius laguna, Cerapus benthophilus, Apocorophium louisianum, Grandidierellabonnieroides, Leptocheirus rhizophorae, Gammarus mucronatus, Melita longisetosa and Haustorius sp.), one ofIsopoda (Cassidinidea ovalis) and two of Tanaidacea (Discapseudes holthuisi and Leptochelia savignyi) were identified.Taxocoenosis, density and biomass of peracarids showed seasonal pulses related to R. maritima biomass,salinity variation, epicontinental affluent and inlets. The species C. ovalis, G. mucronatus, A. louisianum and D.holthuisi were dominant. Rev. Biol. Trop. 55 (1): 43-53.
