ORTIZ, Manuel  and  LEMAITRE, Rafael. CRUSTÁCEOS ANFÍPODOS (GAMMARIDEA) COLECTADOS EN LAS COSTAS DEL CARIBE COLOMBIANO, AL SUR DE CARTAGENA. Bol. Invest. Mar. Cost. [online]. 1994, vol.23, n.1, pp.119-127. ISSN 0122-9761.

During studies of the crustacean fauna from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, a number of samples were obtained in March and July of 1991 at various localities south of Cartagena. A qualitative study of the samples revealed the existence of 43 species of amphipods, 25 of which (58%) had not been previously reported for this coast. A systematic list is presented as well as a description of the substrate where the species were found. The majority were collected from seagrass-bed habitats. Considering that sampling was limited almost exclusively to these habitats, the number of species found is high when compared to other areas in the Caribbean.
