Resumen:
Rustic aquaculture systems represent a sustainable production alternative in the world, providing appropriate conditions for the establishment of epibiotic ciliates on crayfish. However, the impact of epibiotic ciliates on the aquaculture production has been insufficiently studied hitherto. The objective of this work was to identify the epibiotic ciliates on the surface of the crayfish Procambarus (Austrocambarus) sp. and analyze whether there is any correlation between seasonality and environmental conditions in an artificial pond in Chiapas, Mexico. The crayfish were collected during dry and rainy seasons to investigate their ciliate epibionts. Some physical and chemical parameters of the sampled water were measured and correlation matrix analyses were applied to detect possible relationships between the presence of ciliates and environmental parameters. Thirteen species belonging to the subclasses Peritrichia and Suctoria were identified. Significant differences were found for some environmental parameters and species recorded in both seasons. The present data could help to better understand the relationship bewteen the epibiotic ciliate community on crayfish and some environmental parameters in aquaculture systems. © 2024 The Authors
