Variación morfológica del camarón café (Farfantepenaeus californiensis) en el Pacífico mexicano Morphological variation of brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus californiensis) in Mexican Pacific

Abstract

El análisis multivariado de datos morfométricos se ha utilizado ampliamente en especies comerciales para definir unidades de pesca independientes. En la presente investigación se analizó la diferenciación del camarón café Farfantepenaeus californiensis (Holmes, 1900) del Pacífico mexicano mediante el análisis morfométrico de 171 individuos recolectados en 4 localidades y se comparó con la subdivisión geográfica que el Instituto Nacional de la Pesca estableció para el monitoreo de sus poblaciones. La variación morfológica de cada muestra se estimó mediante el (CV%) promedio de 18 medidas. Se realizó un análisis discriminante utilizando proporciones estandarizadas de algunas de estas medidas y se calcularon las distancias de Manhattan entre las muestras; con éstas se obtuvo un dendrograma por el método UPGMA en el cual la agrupación de las localidades mostró una diferenciación morfológica clinal, relacionada con un gradiente geográfico. La baja variabilidad morfológica estimada al interior de las muestras permitió inferir que cada localidad conforma un grupo fenotípicamente homogéneo, aunque con claras diferencias entre sí, que podrían estar relacionadas con las características ambientales de cada localidad y con posibles variaciones genéticas entre las poblaciones. La diferenciación morfológica del camarón café del Pacífico mexicano que se encontró en esta investigación aporta elementos adicionales para sustentar la división geográfica que el Instituto Nacional de la Pesca ha establecido para el estudio de la pesquería del camarón.Multivariate analyses of morphometric data have been widely used to define independent fishing units for exploited species. In this study we analyzed the morphometric variability of 4 brown shrimp Farfantepenaeus californiensis (Holmes, 1900) locations from the Mexican Pacific to assess whether differentiation agrees with the geographical subdivision established by the Instituto Nacional de la Pesca to monitoring the brown shrimp populations. The morphologic variation of each sample was estimated through the variation coefficient (CV%) averaged over 18 measurements. A discriminant analysis was made using the standardized ratios for some of the measurements. Manhattan distances among samples were calculated to obtain a dendrogram with the UPGMA method where localities grouping showed a clinal pattern of morphological differentiation related to a geographical gradient. The low estimated morphologic variability within samples allowed us to conclude that each sampled locality conforms a phenotypically homogeneous group, with clear differences to the others. These differences could be explained on basis of the environmental characteristics of each locality in addition to possible genetic variations between populations. Thus, the morphological differentiation of the brown shrimp populations of the Mexican Pacific detected in this study provides additional elements to sustain the geographical division that the Instituto Nacional de la Pesca established to survey the shrimp fishery.
