“…At San Andres Island, 12 species collected from drifting brown macroalgae and seagrass samples revealed P. emarginatum and P. belizeanum at the highest cell concentrations (Mancera-Pineda et al, 2014). In the Gulf of Morrosquillo, six dinoflagellate species were found attached to 26 macroalgal and seagrass species (Quintana-M and Mercado- Gómez, 2017). In general, with respect to the species composition and cell abundances of epibenthic dinoflagellates, the potentially toxic species, O. lenticularis, O. ovata and P. lima were the most abundant.…”

A Review on the Biodiversity and Biogeography of Toxigenic Benthic Marine Dinoflagellates of the Coasts of Latin America

Many benthic dinoflagellates are known or suspected producers of lipophilic polyether phycotoxins, particularly in tropical and subtropical coastal zones. These toxins are responsible for diverse intoxication events of marine fauna and human consumers of seafood, but most notably in humans, they cause toxin syndromes known as diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) and ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). This has led to enhanced, but still insufficient, efforts to describe benthic dinoflagellate taxa using morphological and molecular approaches. For example, recently published information on epibenthic dinoflagellates from Mexican coastal waters includes about 45 species from 15 genera, but many have only been tentatively identified to the species level, with fewer still confirmed by molecular criteria. This review on the biodiversity and biogeography of known or putatively toxigenic benthic species in Latin America, restricts the geographical scope to the neritic zones of the North and South American continents, including adjacent islands and coral reefs. The focus is on species from subtropical and tropical waters, primarily within the genera Prorocentrum, Gambierdiscus/Fukuyoa, Coolia, Ostreopsis and Amphidinium. The state of knowledge on reported taxa in these waters is inadequate and time-series data are generally lacking for the prediction of regime shift and global change effects. Details of their respective toxigenicity and toxin composition have only recently been explored in a few locations. Nevertheless, by describing the specific ecosystem habitats for toxigenic benthic dinoflagellates, and by comparing those among the three key regions-the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and the subtropical and tropical Pacific coast, insights for further risk assessment of the global spreading of toxic benthic species is generated for the management of their effects in Latin America.

“…Records from published papers were included to prepare the species list from Schnetter (1976) to the most recent work in the Gulf by Quintana-M. and Mercado-Gómez (2017), and books and theses available in the libraries of the following national institutions were consulted: Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras José Benito Vives de Andréis (INVEMAR), Universidad de Córdoba, Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Universidad del Magdalena and Universidad de Sucre. Additionally, the online site macroalgae.org (Macroalgal Herbarium Portal, 2024) and the data available in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility Schnetter (1976;1978), Patiño andFlórez (1993), andDíaz-Pulido andDíaz-Ruíz (2003) were not added to the map because they do not have the coordinates, making their location in the Gulf uncertain.…”

“…These organisms constitute a relevant portion of macroalgal diversity, especially in tropical regions (Mateo-Cid et al, 2020;Reyes-Gómez et al, 2021) and have been ignored in the Gulf of Morrosquillo as well as in the Colombian Caribbean in general. Moreover, most recent works (e.g., Quirós-Rodríguez et al, 2010;Sampedro-M. et al, 2012;Meneses and Rivera, 2014;Quintana-M. and Mercado-Gómez, 2017) focused exclusively on shallow environments (to 4 m depth); hence, there is no information on seaweeds at greater depths in the Gulf.…”

“…In contrast, the western part of the Caribbean coast of the country (with exception of work done by López-Jiménez et al (2021) in the Capurganá Bay, who reported 61 species of macroalgae inhabiting this region) and especially the Gulf of Morrosquillo, located between the departments of Córdoba and Sucre (Castaño, 2002), has been overlooked and is lacking adequate knowledge of its phycoflora (Gavio, 2023), as shown by the low number of reported species by Díaz-Pulido and Díaz-Ruíz (2003). However, some authors have reported macroalgal species for both rocky (Quirós-Rodríguez et al, 2010Sampedro-M. et al, 2012) and sandy shores (Quintana-M. and Mercado-Gómez, 2017) of the Gulf following the list of 2003. In Colombia, this lack of knowledge of the phycoflora of its coasts is due to several factors: first of all, despite having coasts on both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, the country does not value its marine ecosystems as it should (Garnica, 2021); second, historically the study of marine algae does not rank high in the interest of the national scientific community, although, at present, this tendency is changing (Gavio, 2023); third, the access to several areas of coastline is still difficult and expensive, either due to lack of infrastructure (roads and highways), or security problems due to the presence of paramilitary groups or other illegal associations in some territories (Garnica, 2021;Palencia et al, 2023).…”

Background and Aims: Macroalgae are primary producers of marine ecosystems, so the information regarding their species composition and distribution is necessary to develop conservation strategies and sustainable use of the coastal coastlines they inhabit. However, in different marine regions of Colombia, such as the Gulf of Morrosquillo, this knowledge is scarce, requiring a greater sampling effort and constant updating of data. Therefore, this work aims to provide an updated list of the macroalgae in the aforementioned region, based on published and unpublished biological records and recent sampling. Methods: Bibliographic information was compiled from historical records from 1976 to the present and complemented with sampling in one location in the Gulf of Morrosquillo. The taxa were organized and updated based on the most recent nomenclature, and the geographical affinity of the algal flora was determined using the Cheney index.Key results: The occurrence of 97 taxa classified in three classes, 15 orders, 32 families and 54 genera. Red algae, with 48 taxa, were the group that contributed the largest number of species, and the phycoflora of the region was of a mixed type according to the Cheney index. Six new annotated and illustrated records were reported for the Gulf: Antithamnionella breviramosa, Centroceras gasparrinii, Bostrychia tenella, Melanothamnus sphaerocarpus, Agardhiella ramosissima and Feldmannia mitchelliae.Conclusions: The inventory of macroalgae in the evaluated region was updated, showing a clearer historical panorama of the sampled areas, which suggests an extraordinary potential in the future discovery of new records that would increase the knowledge about the phycoflora of the Colombian Caribbean, particularly because the records of encrusting red algae, epiphytic and epizoic species are non-existent.
