          Abstract

          La biología y ecología de las especies Lutjanus colorado y Lutjanus argentiventris son poco conocidas en el estado de Sinaloa, México a pesar de la importancia económica que tiene, con capturas de 233.642 tm en el 2000. Estómagos de estas especies fueron recolectados mensualmente durante el año 2001, a partir de organismos capturados tanto por la flota comercial ribereña como durante la realización de salidas de campo propias. Se analizaron 145 estómagos de L. argentiventris y 87 de L. colorado. Las presas presentes en los contenidos estomacales fueron identificadas, clasificadas, numeradas y pesadas. Para el análisis cuantitativo del régimen alimenticio de las especies se calcularon los porcentajes en número y peso de las presas así como el índice de importancia relativa (IIR) total, mensual, por sexos y por tallas. La dieta de los peces estuvo constituida por dos grupos tróficos principales: peces y crustáceos. La presa más importante en la dieta de L. argentiventris fue Penaeus sp.(Decapoda Natantia) y en la de L. colorado, fue Goniopsis pulchra (Decapoda Reptantia). La cantidad de presas consumidas se incrementó en los meses de verano, observándose durante este período una mayor variedad del espectro alimenticio. Se utilizó el porcentaje en número y en peso para determinar la diversidad del espectro alimentario. Se encontró que estos valores fueron bajos (<0,5), determinándose que la dieta de estas especies de pargos es de baja diversidad pero abundante

          The biology and ecology of the species Lutjanus colorado and Lutjanus argentiventris is almost unknown in the state of Sinaloa Mexico, in spite of the economic importance that catch of these species had in the year 2000 with 233,642 metric ton. The present work is of scientific importance by the biological contribution for the managing of these fisheries. Stomachs of these species were monthly collected from artisanal and personal catches during 2001. A total of 145 stomachs of L. argentiventris and 87 of L. colorado were analyzed. The stomach content was identified, separated in groups, quantified, weighted and the frequency of appearance obtained. Additionally, the total and monthly index of relative importance (IRI) was calculated, by sex and size. The diet of these fishes was constituted by two main trophic groups: fishes and crustaceans. The most important prey in the diet of L. argentiventris was Penaeus sp. (Decapoda Natantia) and in L. colorado was Goniopsis pulchra (Decapoda Reptantia). The amount of preys was greater in the summer months, being observed a greater variety of the nutritional spectrum. Numerical and gravimetric percentages were used to determine trophic spectrum diversity. These values were low (<0.5), concluding that the diet of these species is of low diversity but abundant

          Resource partitioning in ecological communities.

          T Schoener (1974)
          To understand resource partitioning, essentially a community phenomenon, we require a holistic theory that draws upon models at the individual and population level. Yet some investigators are still content mainly to document differences between species, a procedure of only limited interest. Therefore, it may be useful to conclude with a list of questions appropriate for studies of resource partitioning, questions this article has related to the theory in a preliminary way. 1) What is the mechanism of competition? What is the relative importance of predation? Are differences likely to be caused by pressures toward reproductive isolation? 2) Are niches (utilizations) regularly spaced along a single dimension? 3) How many dimensions are important, and is there a tendency for more dimensions to be added as species number increases? 4) Is dimensional separation complementary? 5) Which dimensions are utilized, how do they rank in importance, and why? How do particular dimensions change in rank as species nuimber increases? 6) What is the relation of dimensional separation to difference in phenotypic indicators? To what extent does the functional relation of phenotype to resource characteristics constrain partitioning? 7) What is the distance between mean position of niches, what is the niche standard deviation, and what is the ratio of the two? What is the niche shape?
