Abstract

The coastal areas of the Baja California peninsula are characterized mainly by rocky areas, where rock pools dominate as important coastal habitats because of the tide cycle, when the water is trapped during the low tide, forming the pools. Environmental parameters like temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen of the water trapped in the pools are key factors for the flora and fauna that inhabit these areas, particularly during the warmer months when the mean values of these parameters are usually higher than the mean values of the sea surface. The aim of the present study was to determine the variation of the taxonomic diversity of the fish communities that inhabit the rock pools in the common land known as Conquista Agraria in the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, México, from 2015 to 2019. A total of 59 visual censuses were carried out monthly during the second low tide of the full moon. Temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen showed variation throughout the study period, with two distinct seasons (warm

2015-2019年下加利福尼亚南部太平洋沿岸潮间带鱼类群落的分类多样性测定

下加利福尼亚半岛的沿海地区主要以岩石地区为特征，由于潮汐周期，当海水在退潮期间被困住时，形成了岩石池，岩石池占主导地位，成为重要的沿海栖息地。池中水的温度、盐度和溶解氧等环境参数是影响这些地区动植物的关键因素，特别是在温暖的月份，这些参数的平均值通常高于海面的平均值。本研究的目的是确定2015年至2019年在m西科州下加利福尼亚州南部太平洋沿岸被称为Conquista Agraria的共同土地上栖息在岩石池中的鱼类群落的分类多样性变化。每月在满月第二次退潮期间进行59次目视普查。在整个研究期间，温度、盐度和溶解氧表现出变化，有两个明显的季节(暖季和暖季)
