Distribution of Hippoidea (Decapoda, Anomura) larvae off Veracruz, southern Gulf of Mexico: inferences about their migration route
In: CrustaceanaAbstract
The distribution and abundance of hippoid zoeal stages offshore Veracruz, southern Gulf of Mexico, and the migration routes of these larvae in the western Atlantic, were analysed. Samples were collected with a Bongo net and larval dispersal was analysed applying the HYCOM hydrodynamical model; particles (virtual larvae) originating from 35 sites were tracked for 77 days. Larvae of Albunea paretii Guérin-Méneville, 1853 were the most abundant, and dispersal simulations indicated that older larvae occurring off Veracruz might originate from Texas. However, a substantial proportion of self-recruitment (7.8%) can occur, mainly due to the seasonal changes in direction of currents over the shelf as well as the high variability in weather conditions. Results also suggest that several generations of A. paretii are needed for the species to reach Veracruz from South America. A hypothetical model regarding the migration routes of A. paretii larvae in the western Atlantic is proposed.
Resumen
Se analizaron la distribución y la abundancia de los estadios zoea de hippoideos en la costa de Veracruz, sur del Golfo de México, y las rutas de migración de estas larvas en el Atlántico occidental. Las muestras se recolectaron con una red Bongo y se analizó la dispersión de larvas aplicando el modelo hidrodinámico HYCOM; las partículas (larvas virtuales) se originaron en 35 sitios y se rastrearon durante 77 días. Las larvas de Albunea paretii Guérin-Méneville, 1853 fueron las más abundantes y las simulaciones de dispersión indicaron que las larvas de mayor edad registradas en Veracruz podrían originarse en Texas. Sin embargo, una proporción considerable de auto-reclutamiento (7.8%) puede suceder debido principalmente a los cambios estacionales en la dirección de las corrientes sobre la plataforma y a la alta variabilidad en las condiciones climáticas. Los resultados también sugieren que se necesitan varias generaciones de A. paretii para que la especie llegue a Veracruz desde Sudamérica. Se propone un modelo hipotético de las rutas de migración de larvas de A. paretii en el Atlántico occidental.
