Abstract

The need for including faunistic and ecological aspects in studies of land use has been analyzed, either from a methodological point of view or taking into account animal populations of great interest. This survey has been located the in Mar Menor lagoon and its ecological surroundings. Essentially, populations of molluscs, crustaceans, reptiles, fishes, birds and mammals have been used. The method of work has been based on characterizing homogeneous environmental sectors with regard to subatratum, relief, vegetation and degree of human activity. By field extensive prospection analysis of available bibliographical sources, as well as information obtained from other investigators, the ecological characterization of these animal communities has been obtained. Twenty eight faunistic units have been considered in all, whose description comprises structure. Functioning, dynamics and environmental conditions, closely related to the taxonomic operational components of the study. Finally besides aspects of conservation and exploitation in relation to the studied animal populations, the present day environmental conditions along the coast of the Mar Menor lagoon have been studied too.
