Three gastropod species are described from a previously unknown shallow-marine molluscan fauna in the lower Eocene Bateque Formation, southwest of San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Velates batequensis n. sp., a commonly occurring neritid in the Bateque, is the only ribbed Velates known from the Western Hemisphere. The fairly rare Platyoptera pacifica n. sp. is the earliest record of this strombid genus and its first occurrence on the west coast of North America. The very rare Cypraedia sp. is also the first occurrence of this cypraeid-like genus on the west coast of North America.

Se proporcionan un catálogo iconográfico y el inventario de los taxa de diatomeas que se encuentran en hábitats rocosos de la costa occidental de Baja California Sur, y aquellas que forman parte de la dieta de abulones (Haliotis spp.) jóvenes, con el objetivo de tener una referencia práctica que coadyuve en el manejo de este recurso. La información se derivó principalmente de estudios científicos en varias localidades de B. C. S. Para ello, se obtuvieron muestras de diatomeas del ambiente rocoso, y se examinaron los contenidos intestinales de especímenes juveniles de abulón azul (H. fulgens ) y abulón amarillo (H. corrugata ). Se identificaron 321 taxa de diatomeas bénticas, tanto epilíticas como epífitas, de los cuales, hasta 98 taxa se han observado dentro de su dieta. Así, aunque juveniles de H. corrugata y H. fulgens pueden alimentarse de diatomeas de cualquier especie que esté disponible en su ambiente, la dieta principalmente la constituyen unos pocos taxa, específicamente: Cocconeis speciosa, C. costata var. pacifica, C. diminuta, C. scutellum, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Tabularia investiens, Gomphonemopsis pseudexigua , incluyendo formas coloniales, como Berkeleya fennica . En los contenidos intestinales es común observar agregaciones de diatomeas, ya sean mono- o multiespecíficas, a veces adheridas a tejidos de macroalga. De acuerdo con este estudio, se deben reconsiderar el enfoque monoespecífico y la selectividad en la alimentación de juveniles y poslarvas de Haliotisspp. en cultivo; asimismo, la fuente para su alimentación debe ser el sustrato rocoso colonizado por macroalgas donde estos habitan. Igual, debe reevaluarse la contribución de las diatomeas a la nutrición de abulones jóvenes (0.5 cm - 1 cm) que han cambiado su dieta a macroalgas, dada la abundancia de diatomeas epifitas que aquellas presentan. Iconographic catalog of the diatoms occurring in rocky habitats and in the diet of young abalone (Haliotis spp.) in Baja California Sur, México An iconographic catalogue and inventory of the diatom taxa found in rocky habitats of the west coast of Baja California Sur and those that make up part of the diet in young abalone ( Haliotis spp.) are provided as a practical reference that aids in the management of this resource. This information was derived mainly from scientific studies in various localities in B. C. Sincerely. The analyzed diatom samples were collected from the rocky environment, and from the gut contents of young green ( H. fulgens ) and pink abalone ( H. corrugata ). A total of 321 benthic diatom taxa were identified, both epilithic and mainly epiphytic forms. Out of these 98 diatom taxa have been observed in the diet of juvenile H. fulgens and H. corrugata . Although young abalone may feed on any diatom species available in their habitat, few taxa represent the main diatom component of their diet: Cocconeis speciosa, C. costata var. pacifica, C. diminuta, C. scutellum, T. nitzschioides, T. investiens, Gomphonemopsis pseudexigua, and colonial forms, such as Berkeleya fennica . Mono- or multispecific clusters of diatoms are frequent in the gut contents of abalone juveniles, frequently attached to macroalgae tissue. Our observations indicate that the monospecific view and supposed selectivity in the feeding of cultured abalone should be reconsidered, and that the diatom source for feeding young abalone and post-larvae under culture conditions should be the rocky substrate occupied by macroalgae found in abalone fishing sites. Because of the abundance of epiphytic diatoms on macroalgae the contribution of diatoms to the nutrition of young abalone (0.5 cm -1 cm) that change their diet to macroalgae should be reassessed.
