| description | In Mexico there is little information about the symbiotic associations among diatoms on other marine microalgae and particularly, ciliates and marine planktonic crustaceans. For that reason, we report the first record of the epizoic symbiosis between the copepod Farranula gibbula and the diatom Pseudohimantidium pacificum as well as other microalgae associations with marine ciliates in Bahía de La Paz. Biological samples were collected using a 20-μm mesh plankton net in six sampling sites in Bahía de La Paz. Sixty-two male copepods of F. gibbula were found. From these, 27 specimens showed a bouquet composed of the diatom P. pacificum on its carapace. Average abundance values of P. pacificum for each sampling station ranged from 16 to 82 diatoms per copepod. Pennate diatoms were observed as epibionts on copepods belonging to the genus Acartia. In addition, other symbiotic relationships among ciliates, microalgae and cianobacteria were also encountered, outstanding the following ones: Chaetoceros coarctatum-Vorticella oceanica, Leptocylindrus mediterraneus-Solenicola setigera. The association between the diatom Fragilariopsis doliolus and the silicoflagellate Dictyocha pentagona with a Vorticella-like ciliate is reported for the first time. |

En México existe poca información sobre las asociaciones simbióticas entre diatomeas y ciliados, así como con otras especies de microalgas y particularmente con crustáceos planctónicos marinos. Es por ello que en este trabajo se presenta el primer registro de la diatomea Pseudohimantidium pacificum en epibiosis con el copépodo Farranula gibbula y otras asociaciones entre microalgas y ciliados marinos en la Bahía de La Paz. Las muestras biológicas se recolectaron mediante una red de plancton con una luz de malla de 20 µm, en diversas áreas de la Bahía de La Paz. Se encontraron 62 copépodos machos de F. gibbula, de los cuales 27 presentaban sobre su caparazón un ramillete compuesto por la diatomea epibionte P. pacificum. Los valores promedio de abundancia de P. pacificum por estación de muestreo variaron entre 16 y 82 ejemplares/copépodo. Otras diatomeas penales fueron observadas como epibiontes de copépodos del género Acartia. Asimismo se encontraron asociaciones simbióticas adicionales entre ciliados, microalgas y cianobacterias, destacando las siguientes: Chaetoceros coarctatum-Vorticella oceanica, Leptocylindrus mediterraneus-Solenicola setigera. Se registra por primera vez la agrupación entre la diatomea Fragilariopsis doliolus y el silicoflagelado Dictyocha pentagona con un ciliado de tipo Vorticella.
