Abstract

Varios individuos del pargo cunaro Rhomboplites aurorubens fueron observados formando cardúmenes heteroespecíficos entre 10 y 20 m de profundidad en un arrecife coralino en Isla Tesoro (Archipiélago del Rosario, Caribe colombiano). Uno de esos ejemplares fue colectado y examinados sus caracteres meristicos y morformétricos, así como su contenido estomacal y madurez sexual. Se compara con la literatura existente sobre la biología y ecología de este pargo para tratar de explicar su presencia en esas condiciones.
Several individuals of the vermilion snapper Rhomboplites aurorubens were observed swimming in hetero specific schools between 10 and 20 m depth in a coral reef at Isla Tesoro (Archipiélago del Rosario, Colombian Caribbean). One of those specimens was collected and its meristic and morphometric characters examined, as well as its stomach content and sexual maturity. A comparison with the literature on the biology and ecology of this snapper is made in an attempt to explain its presence on those conditions.
