The brown sea cucumber Isostichopus fuscus is the most important commercial holothurian in the eastern Pacific, and its high market value caused overfishing and sharp declines of its populations and catches in several Latin American countries. In Mexico, the fishery has been intense in the northern Gulf of California since the 1990s, and it is curr...
The brown sea cucumber Isostichopus fuscus is highly prized and intensively fished, yet no studies of its reproductive cycle at its northernmost distribution site exist. To characterize its reproductive cycle, monthly surveys (Oct 2014-Dec 2016) that included gonad collection were conducted in 118 sites along the eastern coast of Baja California, i...
Gorgonocephalid ophiuroids, or basket stars, reside in diverse ecosystems of all oceans, but there is limited information on their basic ecology worldwide; therefore, this study provides the first detailed numerical analysis published to date of the abundances and spatial distributions of gorgonocephalids from the eastern Pacific Ocean. We analysed...
El pepino café Isostichopus fuscus es una especie de alto valor comercial y en México está bajo protección federal. La pesquería se desarrolla en la península de Baja California, siguiendo reglas de manejo determinadas en Mesas Técnicas mediante acuerdos entre agencias de gobierno, científicos y pescadores organizados. Uno de ellos es que las evalu...
Knowledge about ophiuroids from Chiapas, Mexico, is still limited; only Diopederma daninana was previously recorded in the state. In order to contribute to the knowledge of their diversity in the region, ophiuroids were collected in four localities of Puerto Chiapas, in different substrata and at different depths. Three species were identified: Oph...
RESUMEN El Golfo de California es una zona de importancia por su alta biodiversidad y por ser clave para las pesquerías artesanales en México. Existe preocupación de las amenazas que existen sobre él, como el calentamiento global, que ha causado cambios en las comunidades. Por esto, se pretendió estimar el posible impacto del incremento de la tempe...
The echinoderms of the Southern Mexican Pacific have been studied for three centuries, but discrepancies
in the nomenclature of some species have pervaded through time. The objective of this work is to present the first updated checklist of all valid species and synonyms, and a historical review of the study of the echinoderms of the Southern Mexic...
Despite the important effort of knowing the Ophiuroidea diversity in the Mexican Pacific, some mistakes in the taxonomic nomenclature have pervaded through time. In order to clarify the latter, a checklist based on literature review of brittle stars from the Mexican Pacific is provided. We reviewed a total of 105 references that in total summarized...
The studies on echinoderms of the Mexican Pacific have focused on taxonomy and biogeography, and there are limited data on their ecology. We used transect to study Diadema mexicanum, Echinometra mathaei oblonga, Eucidaris thouarsii and Tripneustes depressus at three bays in Socorro Island, Revillagigedo Archipelago, Mexico (1989 and 1990). The most...
There are numerous and important coral reefs in the Mexican Pacific, but scarce studies of brittle stars conducted in these ecosystems. In this regard, this work provides the first annotated checklist of brittle stars associated with coral communities and reefs in the Mexican Pacific and an illustrated key to identify the species. We also provide t...
The basket star Gorgonocephalus eucnemis is a common ophiuroid resident of rocky bottoms and artificial substrata at depths of 8 to 1,850 m, and in the eastern Pacific is distributed from the Bering Sea to San Diego, USA. This paper presents a new record of this species obtained with a submersible at Guadalupe Island, Mexico (29.109768N, 2118.25417...
We investigated the current patterns of diversity by country and by class of echinoderms, and analyzed their biogeographical, depth, and habitat or substratum affinities, using the database of the appendix of this book. Traditionally, the area has been divided into five biogeographical Regions and nine Provinces that cover a wide climate range. Cur...
Corals in the Eastern Pacific extend south from the Gulf of California to Ecuador
and oceanic Chile, and west from Colombia to Clipperton Atoll. Nevertheless,
large stretches of the Mexican Pacific remain fundamentally unstudied.
Therefore, to assess the current conditions of coral communities, a coastal
fringe �300 km long (17�40¢ N, 101�39¢ W to...
Mexico is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet. Knowledge of echinoderm diversity in Mexico started in the XIX Century with Louis Agassiz in 1841. Currently, 643 species of echinoderms are known from Mexico, with Class Ophiuroidea the richest (197 species); Class Asteroidea follows with 185 species, then Class Echinoidea with 119 spec...

The objective of this study was to analyze the community structure of conspicuous echinoderms in three islands in the southern Gulf of California, San José, Espíritu Santo and Cerralvo. A total of 140 belt transects (25 × 2 m) were used to assess the echinoderm communities. We estimated species richness, abundance, diversity and evenness. 23 echino...
The Natural Protected Area Parque Nacional Bahia de Loreto, including five adjacent islands, was created in 1996. The park presents rocky and sandy shores, mangrove areas and small patches of reef corals, which have been used for fishing and ecotourism activities. The fishery of the brown sea cucumber Isostichopus fuscus is one of the most peculiar...
Holothurians were heavily exploited worldwide during the last decade. The high prices of the prod- uct prompted the opening of new fishing grounds in the west coast of American countries, such as México and Ecuador. In these countries, the target species is Isostichopus fuscus. There is good information regarding the reproductive biology, growth an...
Species richness is one of the best indicators of biodiversity. However, there are few investigations on concordance of diversity patterns and environmental settings for marine regions. The objectives of this study were to correlate species richness of shallow water (< 200 m deep) sea stars with key oceanographic factors in the Gulf of California,...
The Isostichopus fuscus fishery in Mexico was heavily exploited until 1994, when it was closed due to overfishing. However, no information existed on the status of the populations. The fishery was evaluated through an age structured simulation model, and according to our analysis of the stock, the fishery can be feasible and sustainable as long as...
This study presents data on size structure, growth, natural and fishing mortality rates, probability of capture and seasonal recruitment to the fishery of an exploited stock of the holothurian Isostichopus fuscus from San Gabriel Bay, southern Gulf of California, México, sampled in 1992–1993 (259 specimens), and analyzed with size frequency methods...
The reproduction and growth of Isostichopus fuscus (Ludwig, 1875) at Isla Espíritu Santo, Baja California Sur, México from July 1992 to September 1993 and from August 1996
to July 1997 were analyzed. The reproductive cycle was monitored by using histological analysis. Five gonadal stages were
described according to cell types present in the gonad;...
