Biodiversity of molluscs associated with a nontropical carbonate shelf in Punta Chivato, Guf of California

Arturo Tripp Quezada, Jochen Halfar, Lucio Godinez Orta y José Manuel Borges Souza

The diversity and abundance of benthic malacological communities associated to carbonate sediments was studied in sixteen sites of Punta Chivato (27 º N) western coast of the Gulf of California, at each site, sediment samples were taken: Temperature, depth, chlorophyll a, transparency, salinity and sediment texture were used as environmental indicators. The abundance and diversity of the benthic malacological communities were utilized as ecological descriptors and the growth of most important species was considered as indicator of carbonate production. Molluscs shells were the main component of carbonates of the biogenic carbonates, 66 species were identified from 1286 organisms collected.
