Environmental factors associated with fish assemblage patterns in a high gradient river of the Gulf of Mexico slope Factores ambientales asociados a los patrones en las comunidades de peces en un río de alta pendiente en la vertiente del golfo de México

Using multivariate analyses of fish community and environmental data, we explored associations among 13 fish species and 9 ecological guilds and identified ecological gradients that explain patterns in the fish community of the La Antigua River (Veracruz, Mexico). Altitude, distance to ocean, stream...
