Abstract
ARANGO-SANCHEZ, Luis Bryan; CORREA-HERRERA, Tatiana and CORREA-RENDON, Juan Diego. FISH DIVERSITY IN ESTUARINE HABITATS OF THE ATRATO RIVER DELTA, GULF OF URABÁ. Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.191-207. ISSN 0123-3068. https://doi.org/10.17151/bccm.2019.23.1.7.
Objetive:
To determine the fish species in four estuarine habitats (Arracachal, Eneal, Manglar and areas without vegetation) in the Atrato river delta.
Methodology:
Fish were collected between November 2012 and July 2013, with gill nets and throw nets.
Results:
A total of 1,262 individuals belonging to 52 species distributed in 27 families and 11 orders were captured. Three species of marine stragglers, 21 marine migrants, 7 estuarine, 1 semi-anadromous, 4 freshwater migrants and 16 freshwater stragglers.
Conclusions:
Although no significant differences were found in the fish abundance or fish richness among estuarine habitats, the composition of the species was different and was mainly associated with salinity.
