Resumen


Se estudió el ecosistema de la laguna Culbin Sands, NE Escocia, durante un periodo de tres años (1994-1996) con objeto de identificar los principales acoplamientos tróficos desde invertebrados bentónicos a depredadores epibentónicos, y para evaluar el impacto de los peces que pasan el invierno sobre las comunidades de sus presas. Cada 2-4 semanas, la fauna móvil se muestreó para estudiar su dieta. Las principales interacciones tróficas identificadas, entre invertebrados bentóncos y depredadores epibentónicos, fueron de los invertebrados bentónicos a la quisquilla Crangon crangon, y a los peces Pomatoschistus microps y Pleuronectes plateas. El flujo energético desde los invertebrados bentónicos a los peces que pasan el invierno se estimó en 133 kJ m–2 año–1. También se observó un flujo de 10 kJ m–2 año–1 desde los estadios de huevos y larvas de la quisquilla Crangon crangon a los peces que pasan el invierno. No obstante, experimentos de campo manipulativos no mostraron impactos significativos del pez más abundante entre los que pasan el invierno, Pomatoschistus microps, sobre las densidades de las comunidades de presas, a pesar de observarse una tasa global de ingestión individual de 89 J día–1.
