Flux of crab larvae in a mangrove creek in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1991Abstract Transport of crab zoeae, megalopae, and early juveniles was measured in a mangrove estero (creek) in the Gulf of Nicoya on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. In 1987, larvae were collected by quantitative pumping from a platform moored in the mouth of the estero.

DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE, AND SEXUAL COMPOSITION OF STOMATOPODS IN THE GULF OF NICOYA, COSTA RICA
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1991ABSTRACT Stomatopod Crustacea were collected by trawling in the Gulf of Nicoya on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Abundances, size-frequency distributions, and sexual composition were measured at 12 stations. Eight stations in the upper, more estuarine regions of the Gulf were sampled monthly, while the 4 stations in the lower Gulf were sampled ...

The eastern Pacific puffer fish Sphoeroides rosenblatti (family Tetraodontidae) preys on the mangrove periwinkles Littorariafasciata and L. varia up to 13 cm above the water surface. Puffers capture snails by jumping partially out of the water and removing them by mouth from Rhizophora spp. prop roots.

Tidal and residual currents in a tropical estuary: Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica
Monitoring oceanographic parameters in bays and estuaries is crucial for sustainable development of coastal communities. The Gulf of Nicoya is the largest estuarine system in Costa Rica and plays a fundamental role in the economy of the country. In this study, we collected water level and current velocity data from ADCP recorders and estimated water ...Alexandre Tisseaux-Navarro +3 more

The Gulf of Nicoya is a tropical estuary located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Changes in river inflow during dry and rainy seasons make the gulf a dynamic ecosystem. During the rainy season, freshwater input and organic matter discharge cause environmental gradients that affect the structure of the bacterioplankton communities so that at the ...
