Despite its present economic relevance and the fact
that this ephemeral lake has been under intense developmental
pressure, little is known about the conchilla
of Lake Cuitzeo. In this paper, we report data on
several aspects of the taxonomy and biology (distribution,
abundance and population structure) of the clam
shrimp occurring in Lake Cuitzeo. To our knowledge,
this is the first report of a clam shrimp fishery, and
we hope these data can provide a base of information
that can be useful in further study of the biology
and ecology of these interesting crustaceans leading to
their conservation, sustainable exploitation and potential
aquaculture, besides the conservation of the lake
itself.
