Algunas características biológico-poblacionales del cangrejo sin boca Cardisoma crassum (Crustacea: Gecarcinidae) en los manglares de Tumbes, Perú

Abstract

Se estudió el recurso cangrejo sin boca Cardisoma crassum en el ecosistema de manglares de Tumbes, con la finalidad de ubicar e identificar sus principales colonias, conocer el índice de abundancia (densidad media y población), algunos aspectos biológicos y características del hábitat. Se efectuaron 23 estaciones biológicas comprendidas en cuatro zonas (SNLMT-ZA, Puerto Pizarro, río Tumbes – Chérrez, Corrales) empleándose el método del área barrida en lugares con antecedentes de la presencia de C. crassum. Se corrobora que los individuos habitan zonas altas del manglar y en el intersticio manglar-bosque seco o manglarlaguna hipersalina, con presencia de vegetación del tipo Avicennia germinans, Batis maritima, Prosopis chilensis y Cryptocarpus pyriformis. La densidad media global fue de 0,7±0,5 ind.m ², evaluándose un área de 340.915,9 m² obteniéndose un estimado poblacional de 250.744 individuos. La zona Río Tumbes – Chérrez presentó el mayor tamaño poblacional del recurso y la mayor área habitable respecto a las otras tres zonas evaluadas (SNLMT-ZA, Puerto Pizarro y Corrales). La proporción sexual fue favorable a los machos (3,8 M: 1,0 H), registrándose sólo dos hembras ovígeras. El tamaño promedio en hembras fue 75,6 mm de ancho de cefalotórax (AC) y en el caso de los machos 83,4 mm AC. Se registró predominio de madrigueras activas (abiertas con hospedero), respecto a las inactivas (tapadas) y abandonadas; asimismo, se observó únicamente ejemplares machos alométricos.

ABSTRACT: Mouthless land crab Cardisoma crassum was studied in the mangrove ecosystem of Tumbes in order to locate and identify its main colonies, know the index of abundance (mean density and population), and some biological aspects and characteristics of its habitat. Twenty three biological stations were sampled in four zones that show a history record of the presence of C. crassum (SNLMT-ZA, Puerto Pizarro, Tumbes river-Cherrez, Corrales) by using the swept area method. The results show that individuals inhabit high areas of the mangrove ecosystem and in the mangrove-dry forest or mangrove-hypersaline lagoon transition section, along with the presence of vegetation type Avicennia germinans, Batis maritima, Prosopis chilensis, and Cryptocarpus pyriformis. The overall mean density was 0.7±0.5 ind.m², assessing an area of 340,915.9 m² and obtaining a population estimate of 250,744 individuals. The Tumbes River - Cherrez area presented the largest population size of C. crassum and the largest habitable area compared to the other zones (SNLMT - ZA, Puerto Pizarro and Corrales). Sex ratio was favorable to males (3.8 M: 1.0 H), registering only two ovigerous females. Mean size of cephalothorax width (CW) in female specimens was 75.6 mm, and 83.4 mm CW in males. There was a predominance of active burrows (open burrows with host) compared to inactive (closed burrows) and abandoned burrows. In addition, only male alometric specimens were observed.
