“…The copepod species richness found differs numerically from similar inventories conducted in other ecoregions of the TNWA province. For example, 216 species have been recorded in Florida and adjacent waters (Owre & Foyo, 1967), 201 in the Western Caribbean (Mexican Caribbean) , and 247 in the Southwestern Caribbean (Colombian Caribbean), as reported by Medellín-Mora and Navas (2010), and subsequently updated by Gaviria et al (2019) and Dorado-Roncancio et al (2021). For the Gulf of Mexico, the 335 species reported represent a value close to that found here and as expected, the species composition between these ecoregions have similarities (Campos-Hernández & Suárez-Morales, 1994;Suárez-Morales et al, 2009).…”

The Southern Caribbean (SCA) represents the most productive ecoregion of the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic (TNWA) province. In order to assess the diversity of pelagic copepods in the ecoregion, we present an inventory based on unpublished data obtained from several oceanographic cruises made in oceanic and neritic waters of Venezuela (1967-1968). We complement this information with previous regional surveys to obtain a revised systematic checklist of the pelagic copepod species in the SCA. We included in our list a total of 346 species and 2 subspecies; up to 11 species represent new records. This study allowed us to: 1) expand the distributional range of some species within the TNWA, 2) record the occurrence, in the SCA, of all species known to 12 of 42 families to occur in the TNWA, 3) determine that the number of species of Corycaeidae and Paracalanidae in the SCA is greater than previously documented for the TNWA. Overall, the species accumulation curve resulting from our data analysis allowed us to determine that the diversity of pelagic copepods is underestimated; our estimations suggest that the potential species number that can be recorded in the SCA is 12 to 48% above the figure herein established.

“…El número total de especies en el Caribe nororiental y Atlántico venezolano representa un poco menos de 50 % de la diversidad de copépodos conocidos en el Gran Caribe. Para el mar Caribe se citan 468 especies (Medellín-Mora y Navas, 2010) y para el sector suroriental, que forma parte del Caribe colombiano, registraron 214 especies (Gaviria et al, 2019) y recientemente aumentó la lista a 247 (Dorado-Roncancio et al, 2021). El número de especies registradas en este inventario es similar que en otras áreas del Caribe; en aguas mexicanas el número total de especies conocidas es de 223 (Suárez- Morales y Gasca, 1998;Hernández-Trujillo y Esqueda-Escárcega, 2002).…”

“…The total number of species in the northeastern Caribbean and the Venezuelan Atlantic represents slightly less than 50% of the known copepod diversity in the Greater Caribbean. For the Caribbean Sea, 468 species are reported (Medellín-Mora and Navas, 2010), and, for the southeastern sector, which is part of the Colombian Caribbean, 214 species have been recorded (Gaviria et al, 2019), which recently increased to 247 (Dorado-Roncancio et al, 2021). The number of species recorded in this inventory is similar to that in other Caribbean areas, e.g., in Mexican waters, the total known species number is 223 (Suárez- Morales and Gasca, 1998;Hernández-Trujillo and Esqueda-Escárcega, 2002).…”

Este trabajo recopila las investigaciones de copépodos en cinco áreas de la costa nororiental de Venezuela: Bahía de Mochima (BM), Cuenca de Cariaco (CC), Golfo de Cariaco (GC), Mar Caribe Nororiental (MCN) y Península y Golfo de Paria (PGP). Se utilizó un método descriptivo longitudinal bibliográfico, que presenta un inventario de registros publicados e inéditos de copépodos. Un total de 234 especies de copépodos (145 Calanoida, 68 Cyclopoida, 14 Harpacticoida, 7 Siphonostomatoida) y un género para Monstrilloida forman actualmente la lista de especies. Cinco especies reconocidas en tesis de grado necesitan confirmación taxonómica y fueron excluidas. En laBM, CC y GC se registraron 75, 139 y 136 especies, respectivamente. En el área MCN y PGP se citan 166 y 77 especies. Se registran por primera vez para Venezuela y el Caribe: Aetideus bradyi, Euchirella formosa, Eucalanus elongatus, Pontella mediterranea, Scolecitrichopsistenuipes, Ditrichocorycaeus andrewsi, Oncaea venusta venella, Sapphirina maculosa, Harpacticus chelifer y Paraeuchaeta tonsa. Mediante la revisión bibliográfica se comprobó que la composición de la comunidad de copépodos en las cinco áreas incluyó formas marinas, estuarinas y de aguas dulces, además se confirmó que la variabilidad estacional y espacial observada en la ocurrencia y distribución de los copépodos planctónicos está directamente relacionada con la surgencia costera.
