          Abstract

          Los estudios geoquímicos y sedimentológicos realizados para evaluar el efecto de la pesca de arrastre de fondo en México, son prácticamente inexistentes. En el presente trabajo se contrastan sitios de arrastre y no arrastre de la pesca del camarón en la costa de Sinaloa-Sonora. El análisis del tamaño de grano medio indicó diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre sitios de arrastre y no arrastre. Sorprendentemente, las variables geoquímicas (carbonato de calcio, carbono y nitrógeno orgánico, la razón C/N y los isótopos estables de carbono y nitrógeno) en ambas áreas (prístinas e impactadas), no fueron estadísticamente diferentes. Nuestros datos sugieren que el transporte de materiales y energía regularían, de manera similar en ambas zonas, los procesos biogeoquímicos que determinan los intervalos de estas variables y que no las hace estadísticamente diferentes. Aparentemente el ecosistema bajo el efecto de la pesca de arrastre de fondo en la costa de Sinaloa-Sonora, Golfo de California es capaz de absorber este impacto.

          The geochemical and sedimentological studies conducted to assess the impact of bottom trawling in Mexico, are virtually absent. In this research are contrasted trawling and not-trawling sites of shrimp fishing in the coast of Sinaloa-Sonora. The analysis of grain-size indicated statistically significant differences between trawling and not-trawling sites. Unexpectedly, the geochemical variables (calcium carbonate, carbon and organic nitrogen, the ratio C/N and the stables isotopes of carbon and nitrogen) in both areas (pristine and impacted) were not statistically different. Our data suggest that the transport of materials and energy regulated, in both areas, biogeochemical processes that determine the ranges of these variables and that make them not statistically different. In fact, the ecosystem under the effect of bottom trawling in the coast of Sinaloa-Sonora is able to absorb this impact.
