          Abstract

          Se analizó la composición y abundancia de las medusas presentes en 42 muestras de zooplancton de la Laguna de Términos, Campeche que fueron recolectadas durante marzo y octubre de 2009 y noviembre de 2010. Se identificaron siete especies, seis de ellas son nuevos registros geográficos para este sistema costero y una (Phialopsis diegensis) es también un nuevo registro para el Atlántico mexicano. Considerando todo el periodo estudiado, la especie más abundante fue Helgicirrha schulzeicon el 52.24% del total de medusas examinadas, seguida por Bougainvillia muscus con el 18.04%. La presencia de P. diegensis y otras especies no registradas anteriormente en la zona, pueden ser resultado de la influencia oceánica en este sistema o bien son posibles especies invasoras derivadas del impacto de las actividades humanas y el tráfico marítimo, actividades que afectan principalmente a las comunidades del zooplancton en las lagunas costeras.

          Translated abstract

          The composition and abundance of the jellyfish present in 42 zooplankton samples obtained from the Laguna de Terminos, Campeche, during March and October 2009 and November 2010, were analyzed. Seven species were identified, six of them are new geographic records for the zone, and one (Phialopsis diegensis) is also a new record for the Mexican Atlantic. Considering the entire study period, the most abundant species was Helgicirrha schulzei with 52.24% followed by Bougainvillia muscus with 18.04%. The presence of P. diegensis and other previously unrecorded species in the area could be the result of the oceanic influence in the system or are invasive non-indigenous species derived from the impact of human activities and ship traffic, both activities mainly affecting the zooplankton communities of coastal lagoons.
