Abstract
Bahía Magdalena, Baja California Sur (Mexico), is an interesting place where, because of its geographic location and environmental characteristics, a high biodiversity is found. In spite of marine resources of economic importance, few reports or papers dealing with the bay’s biodiversity have been published. To date a comprehensive check-list of the fishes of Bahía Magdalena has not been published. In the present work an integrated record of ichthyofauna is given; the list includes those species caught in a six-year survey, which are catalogued in the biological collection of the Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas (CICIMAR, IPN) at La Paz, Baja California Sur. The check-list includes 161 species belonging to 120 genera and 61 families, of which 20 correspond to the elasmobranchs and 141 to bony fishes.
