A total of 1207 juveniles, 120 adult females and 211 adult males were collected. The relationship of the total length and head length was allometric. Using the Von Bertalanffy equation the maximum length was calculated to be 6.66 ± 0.55 mm, the growth rate was 0.67 ± 0.02, which is faster and higher than in other peracarids. There was a significant relationship between the size of ovigerous females and the number of eggs, with an average of 6 ± 3.27 eggs and total length of 5.21 ± 0.57 mm, similar to that found in other studies. The net reproduction rate was 4.98, generation time 124.49 days, maximum intrinsic growth rate of 0.0131 and a low survival (15%). This work represents the first study on the population structure of the amphipod N. minikoi.

Macrobrachium acanthurus and M. olfersii postlarvae present in the estuary of Río Jamapa, Veracruz were collected to measure the LC50 and LD50 using the herbicide Karmex (diuron: (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea [DCMU]). The captures of the prawns were made with light traps. Acute toxicity bioassays were carried out at 96 h to determine the mean lethal concentration (LC50). In the experimental design, a geometric series was used considering the control and five concentrations of the herbicide (1.75, 3.5, 6.99, 14, and 28 mg/L). The data analysis was carried out with the Probit method. A maximum LC50 of 10.233 mg/L and LD50 of 8.221 mg/L of Karmex were obtained for M. acanthurus and a maximum LC50 of 9.242 mg/L and LD50 of 7.504 mg/L of Karmex were obtained for M. olfersii. The average lethal concentration was consistent with those of other crustaceans, such as Artemia salina and Daphnia. Based on the response in the bioassays, Macrobrachium acanthurus and M. olfersii postlarvae can be used in toxicology studies. Palabras clave: estuario, Decapoda, camarones, diversidad, plaguicida. RESUMEN Los agricultores han aumentado la producción de alimentos mediante el uso de sustancias químicas como el Diurón; sin embargo, estos componentes afectan la calidad del agua y las especies que se encuentran en estos ecosistemas. Se recolectaron postlarvas de Macrobrachium acanthurus y M. olfersii presentes en el estuario del Río Jamapa, Veracruz para medir la CL50 y DL50 utilizando el herbicida Karmex (diuron: DCMU (3-(3,4-diclorofenil)-1,1-dimetilurea). Se realizaron las capturas de los langostinos S. Cházaro-Olvera et al. 562 con trampas de luz. Los bioensayos de toxicidad aguda se midieron a las 96 h para determinar la concentración letal media (CL50). En el diseño experimental se utilizó una serie geométrica considerando el testigo y cinco concentraciones del herbicida (1.75, 3.5, 6.99, 14 y 28 mg/L). El análisis de datos se realizó con el método Probit. Se obtuvo una CL50 máxima de 10.233 mg/L y una DL50 de 8.221 mg/L de Karmex para M. acanthurus y una CL50 máxima de 9.242 mg/L y DL50 de 7.504 mg/L de Karmex para M. olfersii. La concentración letal promedio fue consistente con la de otros crustáceos, como Artemia salina y Daphnia. Con base en la respuesta en los bioensayos, se pueden utilizar postlarvas de Macrobrachium acanthurus y M. olfersii en estudios de toxicología.

The specimens were collected with a scoop net (0.30 m wide by 0.48 m long and 330 µm mesh opening). The trawls were carried out on submerged vegetation in 10 m long transects parallel to the coastline. Additionally, at a station in Isla Mujeres, a white light trap with an intensity of 30 lm was used. The values of physicochemical parameters were measured in situ, which were within established by the official Mexican standard for uncontaminated waters; temperature (27.26 ± 0.64 °C); salinity (35.65 ± 0.21); dissolved oxygen (8.01 ± 0.88 mg L-1); total dissolved solids (22.82 ± 0.22 ppm); and pH (8.07 ± 0.15). Regarding the families Bodotriidae and Nannastacidae, a total of 7,590 specimens belonging to 5 genera and 18 species were identified. Cumella sp. "A" was the most abundant species with 5,364 specimens followed by Vaunthompsonia floridana with 1,391 specimens. Vaunthompsonia minor was recorded in 9 of the 11 sampling stations. The geographic distribution ranges of Cyclaspis mexicansis, Cumella achimae, C. bacescui, C. andri, C. caribbeana, C. croixensis, C. medeeae, and C. somersi were extended. The highest diversity and equitability occurred in Isla Mujeres (3.05 and 0.88 bits ind-1 , respectively). The genus Vaunthompsonia was dominant in Isla Mujeres, while the genus Cumella was dominant in Isla Contoy.

The southern zone of the estuary of the Jamapa River, Veracruz, is a place of transition between the river and the marine environment to which sediments, compounds, and species of crustaceans are transported to the neritic zone where is the Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano. Objective. The responses of exposure of Potimirim mexicana postlarvae to diuron, glyphosate, and paraquat, as well as the relative abundance, diversity of the association of crustaceans, and values of temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, and dissolved solids in the estuary were evaluated. Methods. Sampling was carried out with white light traps in November and March. Living Potimirim mexicana postlarvae were obtained from the samples to carry out the bioassays; the remaining individuals of the association were fixed in 70% alcohol for identification and quantification. The environmental factors were measured using a multiparameter Hanna HI 9828. Results. Dissolved oxygen was of 6-7 mgL-1 , pH of 8-9, temperature of 26-27° C, total dissolved solids of 700-1,500 ppm and salinity of 0.70-16 ups. Environmental conditions permit the presence of Potimirim mexicana postlarvae. Six taxa were found: postlarvae of Macrobrachium acanthurus, M. olfersii and Potimirim mexicana, megalopae of Callinectes sapidus and Armases ricordi, and zoeae of Brachyura. Diversity ranged from 1.55 to 1.77 bits*individual-1 , indicating an intermediate stability of the estuary. A total of 12,827 postlarvae of P. mexicana were obtained. The LC 50 values of diuron, paraquat, and glyphosate were 5.94, 1.51, and 221.05 mgL-1 , respectively. Conclusions. The values found here are consistent with those obtained by other authors for different species of crustaceans. Due to the important ecological in the food web of P. mexicana, its postlarvae can be used as sensitive test organisms in ecotoxicological studies.

Se identificaron 12 taxones (cinco a nivel de especie, cinco a género y dos a familia) como sigue: cuatro monogéneos, cinco digéneos (cuatro adultos, una metacercaria), un céstodo (plerocercoide) y dos nemátodos (larvas). La prevalencia más alta fue para Neodiplectanum mexicanum (29 %) en E. melanopterus y Aristocleidus hastatus (37 %) en E. plumieri. Ambos hospederos comparten el 50 % de los taxones de parásitos. Ninguno de los helmintos representa un riesgo zoonótico.

The southern zone of the estuary of the Jamapa River, Veracruz, is a place of transition between the river and the marine environment to which sediments, compounds, and species of crustaceans are transported to the neritic zone where is the Parque Nacional Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano. Objective. The responses of exposure of Potimirim mexicana postlarvae to diuron, glyphosate, and paraquat, as well as the relative abundance, diversity of the association of crustaceans, and values of temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, and dissolved solids in the estuary were evaluated. Methods. Sampling was carried out with white light traps in November and March. Living Potimirim mexicana postlarvae were obtained from the samples to carry out the bioassays; the remaining individuals of the association were fixed in 70% alcohol for identification and quantification. The environmental factors were measured using a multiparameter Hanna HI 9828. Results. Dissolved oxygen was of 6-7 mgL-1 , pH of 8-9, temperature of 26-27° C, total dissolved solids of 700-1,500 ppm and salinity of 0.70-16 ups. Environmental conditions permit the presence of Potimirim mexicana postlarvae. Six taxa were found: postlarvae of Macrobrachium acanthurus, M. olfersii and Potimirim mexicana, megalopae of Callinectes sapidus and Armases ricordi, and zoeae of Brachyura. Diversity ranged from 1.55 to 1.77 bits*individual-1 , indicating an intermediate stability of the estuary. A total of 12,827 postlarvae of P. mexicana were obtained. The LC 50 values of diuron, paraquat, and glyphosate were 5.94, 1.51, and 221.05 mgL-1 , respectively. Conclusions. The values found here are consistent with those obtained by other authors for different species of crustaceans. Due to the important ecological in the food web of P. mexicana, its postlarvae can be used as sensitive test organisms in ecotoxicological studies.
