Resumen


Aunque se han investigado los patrones de reclutamiento de Pollicipes pollicipes (Crustacea: Scalpelliformes) en la naturaleza, actualmente no existen estudios sobre los factores que afectan al asentamiento larval. En el presente trabajo, el asentamiento de larvas de P. pollicipes sobre adultos conspecíficos (asentamiento gregario) fue investigado en el laboratorio en función de las variables ambientales (hidrodinamismo, temperatura, luz y salinidad), la edad y los distintos lotes de larvas. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender cómo estos factores afectaban al asentamiento en el laboratorio y elucidar el modo en que podrían afectar a los patrones de reclutamiento en el medio natural. La fijación máxima en adultos fue de 30-35%, con una tasa de metamorfosis de 70 a 80% en una semana. Las tasas de fijación y de metamorfosis variaron dependiendo de los distintos lotes de larvas. La tasa de fijación fue superior cuando la salinidad era la natural (30-40 psu), mientras que la tasa de metamorfosis disminuía cuando la salinidad era inferior (20 psu). La fijación de la larva cipris se estimulaba en condiciones de luz y agua circulante, lo que puede estar relacionado con la preferencia por el posicionamiento de la larva cipris en lo alto de la columna de agua en el medio natural, y además, también con un mayor contacto entre la larva cipris con las superficies en condiciones de agua circulante. Las larvas cipris de más edad (de 3 a 6 días) tuvieron una fijación más alta que las de menor edad, aunque luego, menos larvas de 6 días de edad metamorfosearan. La temperatura no afectó a la tasa de fijación, pero sí se reducía la tasa de metamorfosis a 14°C (en comparación con 17 o 20°C), lo que implica que las diferencias en la temperatura durante el período de reproducción pueden afectar a la rapidez de la metamorfosis de las larvas cipris a juveniles. Las larvas cipris sobrevivieron periodos de tiempo prolongados ( ≥ 20 días; con un 40% de supervivencia), probablemente debido a una capacidad de conservación de energía eficiente, intercalando largos períodos de inactividad con movimientos repentinos y actividad cuando eran estimuladas.
