Introduction: Sea urchin diseases have been documented in several locations worldwide, with reported occurrences of bacterial, protozoan, fungal, and algal infections. Objective: This study aimed to investigate pathogen agents in populations of Arbacia lixula and Paracentrotus lividus along the coast of Gran Canaria Island (Central-East Atlantic, Spain). Methods: Sampling was conducted at San Cristobal beach, on the Northeast side of the island, where sea urchins were manually collected from depths of 1-3 m during June, July, and October 2022. Swab samples were taken from the external and internal areas of the lesions and cultured on various media plates. Results: Eight different pathogen agents, including bacteria and fungi, were identified, with Vibrio alginolyticus being the most frequently observed bacteria in all diseased sea urchin samples. Additionally, ciliated protozoans were found within the tests, potentially acting as opportunistic parasites. Conclusions: This research provides a unique perspective on bald sea urchin disease by identifying a significant number of associated pathogens, including Candida, previously unreported in diseased organisms. Furthermore, the study highlights the presence of an inflammatory response in tissues with bacterial colonies, offering crucial insights into understanding this sea urchin disease.

As well as bringing to light some of the archaeological work carried out at the site at La Restinga Telde, Gran Canaria), the present article reviews and assesses the protocols for analysing patterns of breakage and erosion of the ceramic fragments found there. The article examines, on the one hand, how the archaeological remains came to be there where they were identified, while on the other, it also considers the taphonomic characterization and restoration of ceramics found in two distinct structural spaces: one residential and another a waste area.

El artículo discute la enseñanza en España durante el Antiguo Régimen en el Siglo dieciocho. Se enfoca en particular al ejemplo perífico insular de Gran Canaria, como fraude de la Ilustración a la educación popular. Se analizan e interpretan las dificultades de la sociedad perífica canaria durante esa época. Se centra la atención a las pautas educativas establecidas que favorecían la instrucción y la cultura del la Ilustración. Se habla de la Real Sociedad Económica Amigos del País de Gran Canaria.
