Resumen

Labrus bergylta, Dicentrarchus labrax y Conger conger son depredadores habituales de los ecosistemas costeros del Noreste Atlántico que en este trabajo se estudian por vez primera mediante telemetría ultrasónica en el medio natural. Se demostró la viabilidad del uso de esta tecnología con estas especies y la información sobre sus movimientos se usó para obtener resultados preliminares a corto plazo acerca de la fidelidad al hábitat, la temporalidad diaria de la actividad y el tamaño del área vital. Se emplearon complementariamente dos métodos de telemetría: seguimiento manual y automático en un tramo de costa caracterizado por su elevado grado de exposición al oleaje (A Coruña, NW Spain). Los C. conger permanecieron en el área durante los períodos más largos (17 días), abandonando periódicamente sus refugios al atardecer o durante las noches para buscar alimento. El tamaño de su área vital fue muy pequeño (604 m²). Los L. bergylta no fueron detectados en los receptores automáticos, pero el tamaño de su área vital (entre 2874 y 5184 m²), evidencia un elevado grado de sedentarismo y movimientos muy limitados. Por el contrario, los D. labrax abandonaron el área durante los intervalos más prolongados (9 días), detectándose igualmente durante el día o la noche. Su área vital fue la de mayor tamaño (hasta 26396 m²), evidenciándose un comportamiento espacial complejo y a gran escala.
