Benthic mollusks of la Guajira (10 and 50 m depths), Colombian CaribbeanAbstract
Se estudió la composición y abundancia de los moluscos bentónicos encontrados en el departamento de La Guajira al norte del Caribe colombiano. Para esto se realizó un crucero de investigación a bordo del B/I Ancón del INVEMAR en donde se llevaron a cabo arrastres a 10 y 50 m de profundidad. Se recolectó un total de 4840 individuos, identificándose 215 especies pertenecientes a las clases Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda, Cephalopoda y Polyplacophora, dentro de las cuales 19 fueron especies registradas por primera vez para el departamento. La clase Gastropoda presentó el mayor número de especies (52 %) y Bivalvia la mayor abundancia (71 % de los individuos), siendo el bivalvo Laevicardium sybariticum la especie más abundante del área de estudio. Los análisis multivariados utilizados no mostraron patrones claramente definidos con relación a la profundidad y el tipo de sedimento.Benthic mollusks of La Guajira (10 and 50 m depths), Colombian Caribbean. We studied the composition and abundance of benthic mollusks found in La Guajira along the northern Caribbean coast of Colombia. A research cruise was carried out on board the R/V Ancón INVEMAR, from which bottom trawlings were conducted at 10 and 50 m depths. A total of 4840 individuals were collected, and 215 species identified belonging to the classes Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda, Cephalopoda and Polyplacophora. Nineteen species were recorded for the first time in La Guajira. The class Gastropoda had the highest number of species (52 %) and Bivalvia showed the greatest abundance (71 % of individuals). The bivalve Laevicardium sybariticum was the most abundant species in the study area. Multivariate analysis showed no defined patterns in relation to depth and bottom type.
