DistribuiÃÃo da malacofauna em pilares dos terminais portuÃrios de Cearà - Brasil, com Ãnfase no bivalve invasor Isognomon Bicolor / Distribution of mollusc pillars of the port terminals of Cearà - Brazil, with emphasis on bivalve invader Isognomon Bicolor

Terminais portuÃrios adicionam estruturas artificiais ao ambiente marinho propiciando o estabelecimento de organismos epibÃnticos nativos e espÃcies exÃticas devido à intensa circulaÃÃo de navios. O presente estudo caracterizou e comparou a composiÃÃo especÃfica e a distribuiÃÃo batimÃtrica da malacofauna associada aos pilares dos terminais portuÃrios do PecÃm e do Mucuripe - CearÃ, Brasil, a fim de verificar a ocorrÃncia de espÃcies exÃticas. Foi avaliada tambÃm a estrutura populacional do bivalve invasor Isognomon bicolor em ambos os portos. As coletas da malacofauna foram realizadas por meio de mergulho autÃnomo e mÃtodo destrutivo. A amostragem foi feita entre 0-5 metros de profundidade, espaÃadas em 1 metro. Foram coletadas 41 espÃcies de moluscos sendo 35 nativas, cinco criptogÃnicas e uma exÃtica. As maiores densidades foram registradas para Petaloconchus aff. varians, Isognomon bicolor, Lithophaga bisulcata, Crassostrea rhizophorae e Sphenia antillensis. Em ambos os portos, houve maior densidade mÃdia de moluscos no primeiro metro, bem como de I. bicolor. Nenhum dos portos demonstrou diferenÃa significativa dos descritores de comunidade em relaÃÃo à orientaÃÃo das faces nos pilares (interna e externa). No primeiro metro, foram observados os indivÃduos de I. bicolor de menor tamanho da concha. Esta distribuiÃÃo dos organismos pode provavelmente ser determinada pelo assentamento larval diferencial ao longo dos pilares e tambÃm a faixa em que I. bicolor està mais adaptado fisiologicamente. Estudos sobre estas comunidades sÃo de grande importÃncia para o monitoramento de regiÃes portuÃrias e o diagnÃstico precoce de espÃcies potencialmente invasoras. / Ports add artificial structures to the marine environment giving the establishments of natives epibenthics organisms and exotics species due to intense ship traffic. The present study classifies and compared the specific composition and bathimetric distribution of molluscs faune associated to the ports pillars of PecÃm and Mucuripe â CearÃ, Brasil, wanting to check the ocorrence of exotic species. It was also evaluated the population structure of the bivalves Isognomon bicolor invaders on both ports. The gathering of mollusc faune was possible through the autonomous diving and destructive method. The sample was made between 0-5 meters of depth, with space of 1 meter. 41 species of molluscs were gathered, being 35 natives, 5 criptogenic and 1 exotic. The highest densities were registered to Petaloconchus aff. Varians, Isognomon bicolor, Lithophaga bisulcata, Crassostrea rhizophorae and Sphenia antillensis. On both ports, there was a medium density of molluscs in the first meter. Neither of the Ports showed significant difference from communities descriptors related to the orientation of the pillarâs faces. Considering the bathimetric of I. bicolor on PecÃm Port, it was verified a predominance of these bivalves in the first meter of pillars. This organismâs distribution might be determinate on pillars by differential larval settlement on pillars length and also the range in which I. bicolor is more physiologically adapted. Studies about these communities are of great importance to the monitoring of portuaries regions and the early diagnoses of potentially invasive species.
