| Summary: | 251 species of demersal fishes and invertebrates, with a mean and 400 meters. These took 6,468 individuals belonging to assemblages. average diversity (H') was 2.0. Hypoxic conditions were not Data from 34 epibenthic trawls were made on the continental diversity lies between stable tropical shelves and those in diversity were not statistically significant between for all the assemblages was 294 mg/m2 (0.294 g/m2), and the found between the number of species and depth. Biomass and found during the investigation. There was no correlation indices between stations showed low similarity among the nearshore and offshore. A relatively high number of species number of 287 individuals per hectare. The average biomass shelf of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico between depths 13 temperate latitudes. Evaluation of the percentage similarity were collected from the northwestern Gulf of Mexico compared with the northeastern Gulf; in addition, northwestern Gulf |
