          Abstract

          La raya mariposa Gymnura micrura es relativamente abundante en el sur del Golfo de México, en donde es capturada incidentalmente y comercializada para consumo humano. En esta región, a la fecha no existen estimaciones de los parámetros reproductivos necesarios para conocer su dinámica poblacional y evaluar su vulnerabilidad a la presión de pesca por medio de evaluaciones de riesgo ecológico. Del análisis de 142 hembras con un intervalo de ancho de disco (AD) de 23-87 cm, se estimó una longitud de madurez (AD50%) de 56.8 cm. El ciclo reproductivo de las hembras es anual; la ovulación y el alumbramiento ocurren entre febrero y julio. La gestación tiene una duración de 10-11 meses y es concurrente con la vitelogénesis. La fecundidad fue de 1-11 embriones (promedio = 4.3) y es directamente proporcional al AD de las hembras. La proporción de sexos de los embriones fue de 1.2 hembras por cada macho, pero el número promedio de hembras y machos no fue estadísticamente diferente. El AD de madurez de las hembras y el ciclo reproductivo de G. micrura es aparentemente diferente entre la población del sur del Golfo de México y la de la costa de Brasil.

          The butterfly ray Gymnura micrura is a relatively abundant batoid species in southern Gulf of Mexico, where is incidentally caught and commercialized for human consumption. In this region, however, there are no estimations of reproductive parameters needed to assess population dynamics and vulnerability to fishing pressure by means of ecological risk assessments. From the analysis of 142 females with a disc width (DW) range of 23-87 cm, it was estimated a DW at maturity (DW50%) of 56.8 cm. The female reproductive cycle is annual, and the ovulation and parturition occur from February to July. Gestation last 10-11 months, and is concurrent with the vitellogenesis. Fecundity resulted of 1-11 embryos (average = 4.3), and is directly proportional to maternal DW. The sex ratio of embryos was female biased (1.2 females per each male), however, the mean number of females and males were not statistically different. There are apparent differences in the DW at maturity and the reproductive cycle of females between the southern Gulf of Mexico and the coast of Brazil populations.
