Formaciones Coralinas Del Área De Santa Marta: Estado Y Patrones De Distribución Espacial De La Comunidad Bentónica

Abstract: Twenty coral formations were evaluated in the area of Santa Marta in terms of: 1) composition and abundance of the principal substrate categories and 2) prevalence of coral diseases and bleaching. To obtain the information, bands of 10 x 1 m and 10 x 2 m were used, respectively. A total of 33 species of hard corals were registered. Algae and corals were the components with major cover, nonetheless, averages varied widely in the study area (coral= 4.0 ± 0.9 %-62.0 ± 7.2 %; algae = 30.6 ± 11.0 %-78.3 ± 3.0 %). T… Show more

“…During the past two decades, benthic communities remained relatively stable with no major disturbance events affecting the area (Rodríguez-Ramírez et al, 2010): coral bleaching was negligible (NavasCamacho et al, 2010) and only one hurricane led to minor reductions in coral cover in 1999 (Rodríguez-Ramírez et al, 2010). However, despite this relative lack of disturbances, distinct intra-and inter-bay differences in benthic community structure have been reported in TNNP (Garzón-Ferreira and Díaz, 2003;Vega-Sequeda et al, 2008).…”

“…In addition, environmental changes also influence primary production of major benthic photoautotrophs (Eidens et al, 2014), thereby affecting benthic community composition. Other factors that potentially influence benthic communities in the area include wave exposure, substrate availability, and changes in light intensity (Antonius, 1972;Erhardt, 1975;Werding and Sánchez, 1989;Garzón-Ferreira, 1998;Vega-Sequeda et al, 2008;Bayraktarov et al, 2014b).…”

“…La historia de perturbación local que han experimentado estos arrecifes en los últimos 50 años ha sido factor clave en los cambios de cobertura coralina (ver compilación en Friedlander et al, 2014) y aumento de la cobertura algal, principalmente de céspedes algales (Vega-Sequeda et al, 2008), que se estima hayan tenido un aumento anual promedio de 5,6 % en los últimos 14 años (Acosta et al, 2018) y que en la actualidad son el componente bentónico más abundante (> 39 %) y el principal competidor (58,7 %) por espacio con corales escleractíneos (Gómez-Cubillos et al, 2019).…”

“…Se usó una cuerda con una boya y peso para medir la profundidad, que nunca superó los dos metros. Posteriormente, se hicieron recorridos en zig-zag, con el fin de abarcar la mayor cantidad de individuos de macrófitas posibles (VEGA-SEQUEDA et al, 2008).…”

Posteriormente, se hicieron recorridos en zig-zag, con el fin de abarcar la mayor cantidad de individuos de macrófitas posibles (VEGA-SEQUEDA et al, 2008).Las muestras de macrófitas se tomaron por medio de buceo en apnea y se despegaron con ayuda de una navaja, se almacenaron en recipientes plásticos de 250 o 500 ml dependiendo del tamaño de la macroalga ó angiosperma. Posteriormente, los ejemplares se fijaron en una solución de formol con agua de mar al 4% y se almacenaron en un recipiente con hielo hasta su análisis en el laboratorio (MITCHELL, 1985;OKOLODKOV et al, 2007;OKOLODKOV et al, 2014).…”
