Abstract

GARCIA, Camilo B.. Deep demersal fish fauna of the Parque Nacional Natural Corales de Profundidad, Colombian Caribbean: First approach to its biodiversity. Actu Biol [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.114, e2.  Epub May 10, 2021. ISSN 0304-3584.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.acbi.v43n114a02.

Georeference records of deep demersal fishes (>200 m) inside the Parque Nacional Natural Corales de Profundidad (Colombian Caribbean) were collected and a list of species is composed and presented for the first time. Completeness of this inventory is explored, and a first schema of fish assemblages is proposed. 427 records were found corresponding to 105 species. The inventory is deficient with an explored area of 32.6% of the park. The potential of fish assemblages inside the park is highlighted which may be relevant for its management.

Keywords : Protected area; completeness; inventory; deep fish fauna.
