Influence of hydrographic conditions on larval fish assemblage structure in the northern Gulf of California

This paper analyzes the seasonal variability on larval fish assemblage structure and the relationships to hydrographic conditions during 4 seasonal surveys in the northern Gulf of California. Two periods were identified according to thermohaline properties and associated fauna: a cold period, when t...

description This paper analyzes the seasonal variability on larval fish assemblage structure and the relationships to hydrographic conditions during 4 seasonal surveys in the northern Gulf of California.

Cluster analysis defined 2 groups of stations and associated taxa: a Northern Group, located in the Delfín Basin, including mainly demersal taxa; and a Mainland-Insular group, of species with various affinities (demersal, coastal-pelagic, mesopelagic). Seasonal variability is identified as the main element in the structuring of larval fish assemblages. However, hydrodynamic changes influence the aggregation patterns and the prevalence of the coastal pelagic, demersal and mesopelagic biota throughout the year.
