摘要

There are many studies of fish assemblages in temperate systems, but little information exists about tropical estuarine systems, particularly in the Western Atlantic Region including Mexico. We investigated the fish community structure in the Pueblo Viejo lagoon, Veracruz. Biological samples were collected monthly for one year at six sites: three with dense stands of Ruppia maritima and three sites without submerged vegetation. For each sample, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and depth were analyzed. The unbiased Simpson diversity index, Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA) were used to analyze the fish community. Environmental abiotic variables tended to show significant temporal, but not spatial differences. Fish diversity showed only a weak significant correlation with water temperature, and relatively strong diversity peaks, from June to August and April, were related to production peaks in the system. The two first axes of CCA accounted for 65% of the species-environment biplot variance, which suggested that monthly changes of salinity, turbidity and precipitation, and presence or absence of submerged vegetation, were the most important environmental variables in determining the observed variability in fish community composition. Further, fish diversity was significantly different between habitats with and those without the presence of submerged vegetation ( P < 0.02). A DA showed significant differences ( P < 0.03) in fish community composition between both kinds of habitats, with Lagodon rhomboides, Mugil curema and Menidia beryllina ( substantially more abundant in habitat with submerged vegetation) as the most important species in the discrimination of spatial fish composition. Considering both habitats combined, fewer differences were observed in fish diversity and community composition between rainy and dry seasons. Fish community composition showed greater similarity between seasons than between habitats, despite the fact that environmental abiotic variables showed an inverse pattern, suggesting that site factors, such as the presence of submerged vegetation, play a more important role in the maintenance of fish community patterns than those related to temporal influence.
