Abstract EN
The taxonomic composition of 160 species of bivalves and gastropods recorded in the Gulf of Tehuantepec is presented with information on their habitat and distribution along 10 different localities of the shoreline and 42 stations of the continental shelf.
The species were on sandy and rocky beaches, coastal lagoons, estuaries, mangroves, rocky breakwaters of ports, and shallow subtidal areas (14–47 m depth).
A total of 78 bivalve species and 82 gastropod species were recorded.
Most of these were associated with sandy and rocky beaches and breakwaters of ports.
The estuaries host 30 species and the coastal lagoons only two.
In the shallow subtidal there were 18 gastropod species and 40 bivalve species representing 36.3% of all.
This study adds 24 bivalve species and 29 gastropod species not recorded in previous studies for a total count of 213 species (102 bivalves and 111 gastropods) for Gulf of Tehuantepec.
