Se analiza la composición, abundancia y distribución de los eufáusidos del Mar Caribe mexicano durante Agosto de 1986. Las muestras de zooplancton fueron recolectadas durante el crucero ARCOMM I, a bordo del B/O “Justo Sierra” de la UNAM. Los muestreos se realizaron mediante arrastres oblicuos con una red Bongo (malla de 0.5 mm) desde los 200 m hasta la superficie en 28 estaciones. La especie más abundante fue Stylocheiron carinatum, con el 49% del total de eufáusidos recolectados, le siguieron Euphausia americana 9.8% y E. tenera con 7.8%. Las máximas densidades de las tres especies más abundantes se encontraron durante los muestreos nocturnos; esto puede estar relacionado con los patrones migracionales de las especies. El índice de Bray-Curtis originó tres grupos, separados por las variaciones nictemerales de la comunidad de eufáusidos. Las especies se distribuyeron con mayor frecuencia en el área oceánica y estuvieron ausentes en la región nerítica. La fauna local presenta afinidad con la comunidad de eufáusidos del Golfo de México y otras áreas del Mar Caribe. Se encontraron cuatro especies que representan registros nuevos para el Mar Caribe occidental.
The composition, abundance and distribution of euphausiids from the southern part of the Mexican Caribbean Sea (August 1986) were sampled during the ARCOMM I cruise on board the R/V “Justo Sierra” of UNAM. Sampling was done using a Bongo-net (0.5 mm mesh size) performing oblique hauls from 200 m to the surface at 28 stations. Of the total euphausiid numbers, the most abundant species was Stylocheiron carinatum (49%), followed by Euphausia americana (9.8%) and E. tenera with (7.8%). The highest total density and that of the three most abundant species occurred during the night sampling, and probably was related to vertical migration patterns. The Bray-Curtis index revealed three station assemblages, related to the day-night variations of the euphausiid community. Species were distributed mainly in the oceanic area, and were absent in the neritic zones. The local fauna shows a strong affinity for the euphausiid community of the Gulf of Mexico and other areas of the Caribbean Sea. Four species are considered to be new records for the western Caribbean Sea.
