Abstract
espanolEl pasto marino Thalassia testudinum, alberga una alta riqueza especifica de epifitas debido a su morfologia y abundancia en la costa del Atlantico mexicano. Los epifitos son un importante elemento por su composicion taxonomica y grupos funcionales, ademas pueden utilizarse como bioindicadores. Se comparo la composicion de algas epifitas de un forofito comun en dos ecorregiones: Santa Rosa, Quintana Roo de aguas oligotroficas y Penacho del Indio, Veracruz de aguas eutroficas. Se esperaba obtener una mayor cobertura de algas foliosas y filamentosas en la pradera de Penacho del Indio debido a su naturaleza eutrofica. Se determinaron 77 especies epifitas, 43 en Penacho del Indio y 46 en Santa Rosa. De ellas, 17 especies corresponden a Cyanobacteria, 38 Rhodophyta, 11 Phaeophyceae y 11 Chlorophyta. Chondria pygmaea, Myrionema magnusii, Hecatonema floridanum, Rosenvingea sanctae-crucis y 7 cianobacterias representan nuevos registros para la costa Atlantica de Mexico. Centroceras hyalacanthum y Myrionema strangulans son nuevos registros para Veracruz. Los grupos funcionales fueron representados por 39 filamentosas, 20 microalgas, 9 macrofitas corticadas, 5 foliosas, 3 costrosas y 1 macrofita articulada calcarea. Las algas rojas presentan una mayor riqueza especifica en ambos sitios, seguido por las algas verdes en Penacho del Indio y microalgas en Santa Rosa. El epifitismo de foliosas, filamentosas, asi como macrofitas corticadas, tuvo mayor cobertura y biomasa en Penacho del Indio. El notorio desarrollo de Ulva en este sitio corrobora su condicion eutrofica, mientras que en Santa Rosa, la composicion de epifitas sugiere la presencia de aguas oligotroficas.
