Alacranes Reef was declared as a National Marine Park in 1994. Since then, many efforts have been made to inventory its biodiversity. However, groups such as amphipods have been underestimated or not considered when benthic invertebrates were inventoried. Here we present a dataset that contributes to the knowledge of benthic amphipods (Crustacea, Peracarida) from the inner lagoon habitats from the Alacranes Reef National Park, the largest coral reef ecosystem in the Gulf of Mexico. The dataset contains information on records collected from 2009 to 2011. Data are available through Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
A total of 110 amphipod species distributed in 93 nominal species and 17 generic species, belonging to 71 genera, 33 families and three suborders are presented here. This information represents the first online dataset of amphipods from the Alacranes Reef National Park. The biological material is currently deposited in the crustacean collection from the regional unit of the National Autonomous University of Mexico located at Sisal, Yucatan, Mexico (UAS-Sisal). The biological material includes 588 data records with a total abundance of 6,551 organisms. The species inventory represents, until now, the richest fauna of benthic amphipods registered from any discrete coral reef ecosystem in Mexico.
阿拉克兰斯礁于1994年被宣布为国家海洋公园。自那时以来，人们为清查其生物多样性做出了许多努力。然而，在清查底栖无脊椎动物时，诸如端足类等类群被低估或未被考虑在内。在此，我们展示了一个数据集，该数据集有助于了解来自阿拉克兰斯礁国家公园内泻湖栖息地的底栖端足类动物（甲壳纲，囊虾总目），阿拉克兰斯礁国家公园是墨西哥湾最大的珊瑚礁生态系统。该数据集包含2009年至2011年收集的记录信息。数据可通过全球生物多样性信息机构（GBIF）获取。
这里展示了总共110种端足类动物，分布在93个名义物种和17个属物种中，隶属于71个属、33个科和三个亚目。这些信息代表了阿拉克兰斯礁国家公园首个端足类动物在线数据集。生物材料目前存放在位于墨西哥尤卡坦州锡萨尔的墨西哥国立自治大学区域单位的甲壳纲动物收藏中（UAS - 锡萨尔）。生物材料包括588条数据记录，生物体总丰度为6551个。到目前为止，该物种清查代表了墨西哥任何离散珊瑚礁生态系统中记录的最丰富的底栖端足类动物区系。
