La composición de especies de diatomeas del contenido intestinal de moluscos bentónicos podría representar fielmente aquellas que habitan en su ambiente inmediato. El objetivo de este estudio fue mostrar que el contenido intestinal de Crassostrea corteziensis permite hacer inferencias sobre la riqueza y composición específica de diatomeas epipélicas. Así, se contrastó la hipótesis nula de que la riqueza y composición específica de diatomeas encontradas en contenido intestinal de C. corteziensis y en sedimentos serían similares. Se recolectaron sedimentos (SE) y contenido intestinal de ostiones (CI) de un sistema estuarino. Las diatomeas presentes en ambas muestras se limpiaron mediante digestión ácida, se montaron en resina Pleurax, y se inspeccionaron bajo un microscopio con contraste de fases. En general, se identificaron 182 taxones de diatomeas; 163 se encontraron en SE y 155 en CI. Durante la temporada de lluvias, se registraron 136 taxones de diatomeas en CI, de los cuales 24 no se hallaron en SE; sobresalieron taxones planctónicos y formas dulceacuícolas. En la temporada de secas, se registraron 139 en CI, de los cuales 25 no se encontraron en SE; destacaron taxones planctónicos y formas marinas. La composición específica en SE y en CI fue significativamente diferente en ambas temporadas. En general, las evidencias no respaldan la hipótesis propuesta. Sin embargo, el hecho de que los ostiones consumieron ≈ 77 % de las diatomeas disponibles en SE, que se complementó con especies fitoplanctónicas, permite considerar el CI como una alternativa para realizar inferencias sobre la diatomoflora en sistemas estuarinos.
Diatom taxa found in the guts of benthic mollusks reflect those in their immediate habitat. This study aimed to show that the gut contents of Crassostrea corteziensis allow us to infer the richness and species composition of epipelic diatoms. Thus, we tested the null hypothesis that the richness and species composition of diatoms in gut contents of C. corteziensis and sediments would be similar. To achieve this, diatoms from sediments (SE) and oysters gut contents (GC) were collected in an estuarine system. Diatom frustules in both samples were cleaned by acid digestion, mounted in Pleurax, and inspected under a compound microscope with phase contrast illumination. A total of 182 diatom taxa were identified, with 163found in SE and 155 in GC. During the rainy season, 136 diatoms taxa were recorded in GC, with 24 not found in SE, planktonic and freshwater taxa stand out. In the dry season, 139 taxa were recorded in GC and 25 were not found in SE, planktonic and marine taxa were prominent. The specific composition for SE and GC was significantly different in both seasons. Overall, evidence does not support the proposed hypothesis. However, the fact that oysters consumed ≈ 77 % of the diatoms available in SE, which was complemented with phytoplanktonic species, allows us to consider the GC as an alternative for making inferences on diatom flora in estuarine systems.
