description Information dealing with different ecological aspects of gastropod mollusks in Mexico is insufficient, especially in marine priority regions (MPRs) that have been determined by the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity. In the state of Guerrero there are four MPRs. The aim of this research was to determine the richness, abundance, distribution, size composition and abundance and length relationship of the dominant species of the Fissurellidae family with the type of substrate and wave intensity (Mollusca: Gastropoda), which has been reported as representative family in the ro-cky intertidal zone in Guerrero. The work was carried out at 23 sites in the rocky intertidal zone. The specimens were collected at low tide and the sampling unit was 1 m2. The sampled area by site and collection was 10 m2. The specimens found within the sampling unit, were collected and preserved in 96 % alcohol. 1 669 specimens were analyzed; 14 species were identified. Fissurella morrisoni is reported as a new adhesion to the list of species of this family in Guerrero. Fissurella nigrocincta has the highest abundance with 1 043 agencies. It was determined that Fissurella. nigrocincta and Fissurella gemmata as species with wide distribution to be present in 90 % of sites. Fissurella gemmata has the greatest length  in shell. The species with the greatest abundance and lengths have preferences for a substrate composed of rock masses and large blocks, where wave intensity is high.

La información sobre los diversos aspectos ecológicos de interés de los moluscos gasterópodos en México es insuficiente, sobre todo en las regiones marinas prioritarias (RMPs), que la Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad ha decretado. En el estado de Guerrero existen cuatro RMPs. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la riqueza, abundancia, distribución, composición de tallas y la relación de la abundancia y longitud de las especies dominantes de la familia Fissurellidae (Mollusca:Gastropoda), con el tipo de sustrato y la intensidad del oleaje, que ha sido reportada como familia representativa del intermareal rocoso de Guerrero. Se trabajó en la zona intermareal rocosa de 23 sitios; las colectas se realizaron durante la marea baja; la unidad de muestreo fue de 1 m2; el área muestreada por sitio y por colecta fue de 10 m2. Los especí-menes encontrados dentro de la unidad de muestreo se colectaron y preservaron en alcohol al 96 %. Se analizaron 1 669 especímenes, de los cuales, se identificaron 14 especies. Se reporta a Fissurella morrisoni como una nueva adhesión al listado de especies de esta familia en Guerrero. Fissurella nigrocincta registró la mayor abundancia con 1 043 organismos. Se determinó a Fissurella nigrocincta y Fissurella gemmata como de amplia distribución, al estar presentes en más del 90 % de los sitios. Fissurella gemmata registró la mayor longitud en concha. Las especies de mayor abundancia y longitud presentaron preferencias por un sustrato compuesto por macizos rocosos y grandes bloques, en donde la intensidad del oleaje es alta.
