Title

Mollusks associated to the rock oyster Striostrea prismatica Gray, 1825 in Corrales Beach, Jalisco, Mexico

Abstract

We report the mollusks associated to the right valve of the rock oyster Striostrea prismatica Gray, 1825. A total of twelve valves preserved in 96% alcohol were examined. The mollusks associated to the valves were examined using a stereoscope. The valves analysed had a minimum length of 61.1 mm and a maximum length of 84.2 mm. A total of 164 molluscs associated to the twelve valves were quantified, represented by the classes Gastropoda and Bivalvia, with a total of 8 families, 11 genera, and 12 species. We identified four species of gastropods and eight species of bivalves. The most abundant families were Mytilidae (Bivalvia) with 64.0 % and Hipponicidae (Gastropoda) with 11.6 %. The average abundance of the study was 13.7 molluscs/valve. Internal marks were quantified in the valves, caused by the borer bivalve Leiosolenus aristatus. This study contributes to the diversity of mollusks associated to Striostrea prismatica.

Abstract in other language

Reportamos los moluscos asociados a la valva derecha del ostión de roca Striostrea prismatica Gray, 1825. Un total de doce valvas preservadas en alcohol al 96% fueron examinadas. Los moluscos asociados a las valvas fueron separados con ayuda de un estereoscopio. Las valvas analizadas tuvieron una longitud mínima de 61.1 mm y máximo de 84.2 mm. Se cuantificaron un total de 164 moluscos asociados a las doce valvas, representados por las clases Gastropoda y Bivalvia, con un total de 8 familias, 11 géneros, y 12 especies. Los gasterópodos estuvieron representados por 4 especies y los bivalvos por 8 especies. Las familias más abundantes fueron Mytilidae (Bivalvia) con 64.0% e Hipponicidae (Gastropoda) con 11.6 %. La Abundancia promedio del estudio fue 13.7 moluscos/valva. Se cuantificaron marcas internas en las valvas, ocasionadas por el bivalvo perforador Leiosolenus aristatus. Este es el primer estudio que contribuye a la diversidad de moluscos asociados a Striostrea prismatica.
