[feeding habits of the fishes lutjanus peru and lutjanus guttatus (pisces: lutjanidae) of guerrero, méxico].	diet composition of the pacific snapper (lutjanus peru) 130-684 mm fork length (fl) and the spotted snapper (lugjanus guttatus) 120-550 mm fl, was analyzed. monthly samples were obtained from commercial landings in three regions off the coast of guerrero, mexico. percentage by number (%n), percentage by weight (%w), and percentage of occurrence (%o) were calculated for each prey and summarized as the index of relative importance. both species are polyphagous predators feeding on a variety of pre ...	2004	17354408
[coexistence of lutjanus peru and lutjanus guttatus (pisces: lutjanidae) in the coast of guerrero, méxico: association with the temporal variation of recruitment].	monthly volumes of capture of lutjanus peru and lutjanus guttatus from the coast of guerrero, mexico, were analyzed considering eight annual cycles. time-series, auto correlation, and cross-correlation analysis showed that monthly abundance of populations display unsystematic variations. the fisat software was used to obtain the recruitment patterns of both species, using length-frequency data. our results support the hypothesis that temporal phase-shifts in reproductive events, hence recruitmen ...	2004	17357415
vibrios of the spotted rose snapper lutjanus guttatus steindachner, 1869 from northwestern mexico.	to characterize and identify vibrios present in wild and cultured juvenile snappers (lutjanus guttatus) in northwestern mexico.	2007	17578416
vibrio sinaloensis sp. nov., isolated from the spotted rose snapper, lutjanus guttatus steindachner, 1869.	nine bacterial strains were studied by means of rep-pcr, 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, dna-dna hybridization and physiological characterization. typing analysis by means of rep-pcr showed that all nine strains were highly homogeneous, with similarities above 94 %. the strains were isolated from the same geographical area (mazatlán, sinaloa state, mexico) and the same type of host (cultured rose snapper, lutjanus guttatus), although from different individuals and organs. comparison of the almo ...	2008	18599705
the fish species composition and variation of catch from the small-scale gillnet fishery before, during and after the 1997-1998 enso event, central mexican pacific.	in the tropical and subtropical coastal zone, were highly diverse fish communities occur, it is important to study the small scale fisheries exploiting these communities. for this study, 219 fishing days were carried out in bahia de navidad, jalisco, mexico. four gillnets with different mesh sizes (76.2, 88.9, 101.6 and 114.3 mm) were used for the fishing operations, from april 1994 to march 1995 and from january 1998 to december 2000. a total of 26126 organisms weighting 11680 kg were caught. o ...	2008	18624232
[trophic interactions of the six most abundant fish species in the artisanal fishery in two bays, central mexican pacific].	we surveyed the trophic components in six species of bahía de navidad and bahía de chamela: microlepidotus brevipinnis, caranx caballus, haemulon flaviguttatum, lutjanus guttatus, l. argentiventris and mulloidichthys dentatus. two main seasonal periods were considered: 1) north equatorial counter current necc period influence (t1) and 2) california current cc period influence (t2). in bahía de navidad 78 prey taxa were identified in the stomachs. from july to december (t1), 64 prey taxa were fou ...	2010	20411730
the microecology of dactylogyrids (monogenea: dactylogyridae) on the gills of wild spotted rose snapper lutjanus guttatus (lutjanidae) from mazatlan bay, mexico.	the spatial distribution and coexistence of monogenean dactylogyrids was assessed on the gills of 63 specimens of wild spotted rose snapper, lutjanus guttatus (steindachner), caught in the mazatlan bay, sinaloa, mexico. five species are reported: euryhaliotrema perezponcei garcia-vargas, fajer-avila et lamothe-argumedo, 2008, euryhaliotrematoides sp., haliotrematoides spinatus kritsky et mendoza-franco, 2009, h. plectridium kritsky et mendoza-franco, 2009, and h. guttati garcia-vargas, fajer-avi ...	2012	22439428
vibrio alfacsensis sp. nov., isolated from marine organisms.	five strains (caim 1831(t), caim 1832, caim 1833, caim 1834 and caim 1836) were isolated from cultured sole (solea senegalensis) in two regions of spain, two strains (caim 404 and caim 1294) from wild-caught spotted rose snapper (lutjanus guttatus) in mexico, and one strain (caim 1835) from corals in brazil. the 16s rrna gene sequences of the novel isolates showed similarity to vibrio ponticus (98.2-98.3%, genbank accession no. aj630103) and to a lesser degree to vibrio furnissii (97.2-97.3%, x7 ...	2012	22286904
a new species of euryhaliotrematoides plaisance & kritsky, 2004 (monogenea: dactylogyridae) from the gills of the spotted rose snapper lutjanus guttatus (steindachner) (perciformes: lutjanidae).	euryhaliotrematoides mehen n. sp. (monogenea: dactylogyridae) is described based on specimens collected from the gills of the spotted rose snapper lutjanus guttatus (steindachner) off mazatlan, sinaloa, on the northwestern coast of mexico. the synapomorphy of this genus is the presence of a funnel-shaped base of the male copulatory organ. this new species differs from all other species of the genus by possessing a male copulatory organ with a base with a thickened margin and a membranous accesso ...	2012	22581247
rapid infection and proliferation of dactylogyrid monogeneans on gills of spotted rose snapper (lutjanus guttatus) after transfer to a sea-cage.	finfish mariculture is typically threatened by parasite and disease outbreaks. therefore, it is important to identify parasite species of potential risk for this activity. snappers are valuable food fish worldwide. in the eastern pacific, spotted rose snapper (lutjanus guttatus [steindachner, 1869]) is a firm candidate for sea-cage aquaculture. in the current study, the parasitism of caged l. guttatus by dactylogyrids was evaluated for the first time during a complete farming period. twenty five ...	2015	25931028
