Sampling Methods

Collect handling in mangrove roots

Study Extent Punctual sites in a prospection

Method step description:

  1. From 19–24 September, 2011, we visited several sites to collect marine invertebrates in Chiapas, including Puerto Chiapas (or Puerto Madero, as its old name), La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve, Chocohuital, Boca del Cielo Lagoon, Paredón (Mar Muerto Lagoon) and ending in Oaxaca, in San Dionisio del Mar (Superior Lagoon). Serpulid samples were taken from hard substrates such as rocks, mangrove roots and artificial structures (e.g. piers, submerged buildings, etc.). The preliminary examination of the specimens included only the samples from La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve because Ficopomatus tubes were immediately identified in the field. In the other sites in Chiapas and Oaxaca the typical tubes of Ficopomatus were not found.
