GONZALEZ G, Dunia N; SOLANO P, Oscar D  e  NAVAS S, Gabriel R. ECHINODERMS COLLECTED BY CIOH-INVEMAR-SMITHSONIAN EXPEDITION FROM CARTAGENA TO GOLFO DE URABÁ, COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN. Bol. Invest. Mar. Cost. [online]. 2002, vol.31, n.1, pp.85-132. ISSN 0122-9761.

22 Echinoderm species collected in 21 stations using a semiballoon trawling net from Cartagena to Golfo de Urabá, between 30 and 380 m depth by the 1995 CIOH-INVEMAR-SMITHSONIAN expedition  are listed, diagnosed and illustrated. The species included two crinoids, seven asteroids, five ofiuroids, four equinoids and four holothuroids. Astropecten nitidus Verrill, Plutonaster agassizi agassizi (Verrill), Tethyaster grandis (Verrill) and Leptopentacta deichmannae Domantay are first records to the Caribbean Sea, and Astropecten alligator Perrier, Anthenoides piercei Perrier, Amphiodia atra (Stimpson), Amphilimna olivacea (Lyman), Ophiomusium acuferum Lyman, Araeosoma fenestratum (Wyville - Thomson) and Molpadia parva Théel are first records for the Colombian Caribbean. Grouping analisis between stations, based in presence - absense data, evidenced a pattern of stations relationships according depth. However, data are insuficient for determining zonation schemes in the área.
