Abstract

ABSTRACT
Observation journeys with an autonomous diving team, between 1 and 20 m of depth, from October 1994 up to January 1995 (75 hours total), permitted the recognition, with the help of submergible guides and acrylic charts, of the representative macroflora and macrofauna of the reef never before registered. The inventory includes 7 taxa, 46 families, 58 genera and 78 species. Among the registered taxa algae, fanerogams, celenterates, poliquets, equinoderms, crustaceans and fish are included, which were assigned a level of abundance according to the degree of appearance of each species, according to the place they occupied in the water column and along the transect lineal replicates (1 at 10 - 20 m). The results of the work coincide in the variety and diversity of the groups and species, found in the rest of coralline reefs of the Colombian Caribbean. However, 23 new registrations were found (2 celenterates, 2 poliquets, 1 equinoderm, 2 crustaceans, 15 fish), for the San Andrés Island (Colombia).
