Background. In Mexico, few studies have been carried out on epibiosis. Epizoic diatoms are used as biological indicators of ecosystems due to their apparent epibiont specificity with host animals. Little is known about this specificity in the planktonic larval phases. There have been no studies focused on epizoic diatoms on the marine gastropod Aliger gigas larval shells. Goals. The objective of this work was to determine the species composition of epizoic diatoms in the larvae of A. gigas in the Xel-Há cove, the Mexican Caribbean. Methods. Mollusk egg masses were collected from their natural environment, and the larvae were cultured in seawater filtered through a 5 µm mesh under controlled conditions and fed with the eustigmatophycean alga...
