AP. 592, Playa El Conchalito s/n La Paz, Baja California Sur, 23000, Mexico agacosta@hotmail.com In November 1997, 4 specimens of leatherjack, Oligoplites SGurUS, were caught using a modified stationary flume net (Melvor and Odum 1986, Gonzalez-Acosta ) deployed al the mouth of the tidal channel of El Conchalito mangrove swa01p, Laguna de La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico (24 08'17"N, '51 "W). Leatberjack were collected at temperatures ranging from 21.0 to 25.5 C, salinities from 37.1 to 41.5%0, and dissolved oxygen concentrations from 4.8 to 7.1 mg/1iter. Al! specimens were deposited and catalogued in the ichlbyological collection of Centro Interdisci p1inario de Ciencias Marinas (CICIMAR-IPN) (Series CI:4683). X-ray photographs revealed anomalies in 2 specimens: a curvature of the spinal column between the 1" and 11 th vertebrae (lordosis) in 1 fish (Fig. la), and a blunt and rounded apex of the upper jaw in the other fish (Fig. l c) that differs fro01 the normal mouth shape of leatherjack (Figs. 1 b and d). This malfonnation is perhaps due to the reduction of the frontal, nasal, or maxil!ary bones. (The x-ray was not clear enough to say which bones were affected). The number of spines and soft rays in dorsal and anal fins were the same as those published (Smith-Vaniz 1995), but gill rakers were fewer than previousjy reported (Table 1). Dawson (1964) and Dawson and Heal (1976) reviewed several cases of skeletal structural abnor01alities in fishes; however, this is the first record of defor01ities in leatherjack. Most teratologies probably occur during embryonic and larval development, which are usually associated with skeletal anomalies (Koumondourus et al. 1997). Lordosis may be caused by genetic factors, i.e., mutation, or the absence of a functional swim bladder (Chatain 1994), or induced by adverse environmental factors, such as temperature (Kocan et al. 1996), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and mineral deficiencies (Wimberger 1993). Exposure to genotoxic substances, such as pesticides, oil, and heavy metals may cause hereditary deformations of the skeletal structure of fish (Lindesjoo and Thulin 1992) due to disorders in col!agen metabolism in bones (Chatain 1994). However, several abnormalities in fish have been caused t Gonzalez-Acosta, A.F Ecologia de la comunidad de peces asociada al manglar del estero El Conchalito, Ensenada de La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

The mandibular deformation observed here could be related to unfavorable environmental factors, as Carls and Rice (1990) consider extreme temperature as lhe main cause of deformed jaws. Although lordosis and other anomalies have a negative influence on morphology, growth, and survival oí' fi sh, sorne abnormal individuals can survive in natural populations for several years, as did specimens of northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax (Haaker 1977).
