| description | Background and Aims: The Veracruz estuarine systems cover 1166 km2, corresponding to 14 coastal lagoons, that constitute one of the aquatic environments with the greatest diversity and productivity. They are critical environments for economically important species, such as macroalgae, which depend on them for their reproduction, feeding, establishment and refuge. Although the above makes them ideal candidates for conservation biology studies, there are only two contributions prior to 1995 on estuarine phycology. Therefore, the objective of this work was to elaborate an updated systematic list of the estuarine macroalgae of Veracruz, together with a graphical analysis, which contributes to the knowledge of the group and serves as a reference for subsequent biogeographical, ecological or conservation research.
Methods: Phycological literature published from 1963 to September 2022, as well as the UAMIZ herbarium database, were reviewed to complement and update the records. For the taxonomic determination of the specimens, an external morphological study was carried out. The synonymy and nomenclatural status were reviewed in AlgaeBase. From the records obtained, a graphic analysis was performed .
Key results: An updated list with 113 species of estuarine macroalgae is presented: 62 Rhodophyta, 26 Phaeophyceae, Ochrophyta and 25 Chlorophyta, distributed in 24 orders, 38 families and 68 genera.
Conclusions: According to what was observed, there are few or no phycological studies in Veracruz estuarine environments, which causes a gap in the context of the diverse estuarine macroalgae. This list, in addition to being an updated contribution for Veracruz, is a starting point to undertake future analyses that help establish areas of biological importance in these environments, in order to maximize diversity. In addition, the need for constant phycofloristic monitoring in estuaries is evident. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los sistemas estuarinos veracruzanos cubren 1166 km2 correspondientes a 14 lagunas costeras que constituyen uno de los ambientes acuáticos con mayor diversidad y productividad. Estos son ambientes críticos para especies económicamente importantes, como las macroalgas, que dependen de ellos para su reproducción, alimentación, establecimiento y refugio. Aunque lo anterior los hace candidatos ideales para estudios de biología de la conservación, solo hay dos contribuciones previas a 1995 sobre ficología estuarina. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue elaborar un listado sistemático actualizado de las macroalgas estuarinas de Veracruz, junto con un análisis gráfico, que contribuya al conocimiento del grupo y sirva como referencia para posteriores investigaciones biogeográficas, ecológicas o de conservación. Métodos: Se revisó la literatura ficológica publicada de 1963 a septiembre de 2022, así como la base de datos del herbario UAMIZ, para complementar y actualizar los registros. Para la determinación taxonómica de los ejemplares se hizo un estudio de morfología externa. La sinonimia y estatus nomenclatural fueron revisados en AlgaeBase. A partir de los registros obtenidos se realizó un análisis gráfico. Resultados clave: Se presenta una lista actualizada con 113 especies de macroalgas estuarinas: 62 Rhodophyta, 26 Phaeophyceae, Ochrophyta y 25 Chlorophyta, distribuidas en 24 órdenes, 38 familias y 68 géneros. Conclusiones: De acuerdo con lo observado, son evidentes los escasos o nulos estudios ficológicos en ambientes estuarinos veracruzanos, lo que origina un vacío en el contexto de la diversidad de macroalgas estuarinas. Este listado, además de ser una contribución actualizada para Veracruz, es un punto de partida para emprender futuros análisis que ayuden a establecer áreas de importancia biológica en estos ambientes, con el fin de maximizar la diversidad. Además, es evidente la necesidad de un monitoreo ficofloristico constante en los estuarios.
