Morphological and taxonomic observations are ineluded when authors disagree in the taxonomic position and/or identification of the species, as well as when t ax on omic inforrnation is pertinent, or when distribution data are relevant for sorne species in the Mexican Atlantic . A qualitative analysis of species abundance and geographic distribution, and bathymetric range data are presented. There is a reduction in the genera and species numbers from !he Mexican Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico and there, from the Campeche Bank to Veracruz. Furtherrnore, !he number of abundant species is Iower in the Gulf of Mexico than in the ' Mexican Caribbean, and the common species for all reef zones have a wider bathymetric ' range in the Mexican Caribbean. |
