Summary

Abstract

The available literature on fish of the gulf is limited, and as a rule does not differentiate between locations or make habitat associations as to where different fish species are found. Finfish depicted in this atlas include selected species that were mapped based on habitat type. Two major categories were developed: open water gulf species, and estuarine and/or nearshore and/or mangrove associated species. This division considers three basic parameters: depth, salinity, and temperature. The estuarine and/or nearshore and/or mangrove associated species are usually subjected to greater temperature and salinity fluctuations (often due to the fact that the waters are shallower closer to shore, and due to freshwater runoff influence). Species of commercial, artesanal/subsistence, ecological, and/or conservation interest are emphasized. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.

ID
NUMBER
A unique identifier that links to the BIO_LUT table. ID is a concatenation of atlas number (104), element number (2), and record number. ID values of 9999 are holes in polygons and do not contain information. The following FISH species are found in the Golfo de Fonseca ESI data set (SPECIES ID, GEN_SPEC): 116, Mugil cephalus; 119, Bairdiella chrysoura; 173, Mugil curema; 295, Hyporhamphus unifasciatus; 317, Carcharhinus leucas; 326, Sphyrna tiburo; 332, Galeocerdo cuvier; 384, Aetobatus narinari; 387, Diodon hystrix; 405, Opisthonema libertate; 411, Centropomus robalito; 413, Anableps dovii; 414, Arius sp.; 415, Bagre sp.; 431, Epinephelus analogus; 434, Cynoscion stolozmanni; 437, Bagre panamensis; 499, Scomberomorus spp.; 508, Centropomus spp.; 513, Hippocampus ingens; 518, Epinephelus itajara; 525, Albula vulpes; 545, Rhizoprionodon longurio; 568, Urotrygon asterias; 569, Dasyatis spp.; 570, Elops affinis; 571, Lile piquitinga; 572, Odontognathus compressus; 573, Pellona harroweri; 574, Chanos chanos; 575, Ariopsis sp.; 576, Tylosurus raphidoma; 577, Strongylura timuca; 578, Sphyraena guachancho; 579, Polydactylus approximans; 580, Centropomus pectinatus; 581, Centropomus poeyi; 582, Mycteroperca cidi; 583, Pseudobalistes sp.; 584, Batrachoides surinamensis; 585, Hemicaranx sp.; 586, Caranx vinctus; 587, Dormitator maculatus; 588, Chaetodipeterus zonatus; 589, Diapterus brevimanus; 590, Lutjanus colorado; 591, Lutjanus novemfasciatus; 592, Lobotes pacificus; 593, Anisotremus sp.; 594, Genuatremus sp.; 595, Pomadasys macracanthus; 596, Haemulon scuderi; 597, Stellifer sp.; 598, Anchoa sp.; 599, Paralonchurus sp.; 600, Menticirrhus nasus; 601, Sphyraena ensis; 602, Sphoeroides sp.; 603, Carcharhinus porous; 604, Cynoscion squamipinnis; 605, Cynoscion phoxocephalus; 606, Cynoscion albus; 608, Pareques viola; 609, Bagre pinnimaculatus; 610, Parapsetus panamensis. | Description Source: NOAA
