We provided a taxonomic list of fishes caught in the mangrove-lagoon ecosystem of the Isla San José, Baja California Sur, México, based on samplings performed during October 2004 to June 2009. Fifty-three species belonging to 40 genera and 29 families were recorded, of which the most diverse families were Haemulidae (six species), Lutjanidae and Gerreidae (four species each). Biogeographically, the fish fauna of San José estuary has a higher affinity with the Cortez province (77.4%), followed by the Mexican (75.5%) and Panamic (71.7%) provinces. Moreover, almost 70% (37 spp.) of the fish species reported here have commercial value. The King Angel fish, Holacanthus passer, is subject to special protection by the Mexican laws (NOM-059-SEMARNAT- 2010). The use of the mangrove ecosystem of Isla San José by juveniles and adults of the species caught by artisanal fisheries and those subject to conservation programs, revealed the importance of this estuary as a critical habitat or nursery ground for several fish species in the Gulf of California.
