Estructura de un ensamblaje íctico asociado a fondos duros en el caribe colombiano empleando la técnica del censo visual estacionario (CVE)

Between August and November 1995, the structure of a hard bottom-fish assemblage around Morrito de Gaira, Colombian Caribbean, was characterized using the Stationary Visual Census Technique (SVCT). The families with the highest abundance were Pomacentridae, Holocentridae, and Gobiidae, while the richest families were Serranidae, Pomacentridae, and Lutjanidae. Chromis multilineata, Myripristis jacobus,Chromis cyanea, Stegastes partitus, and Coryphopterus personatus were the most important species. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index was 4.61 ±0.03 for the study area. The classification and inverse analyses indicated differences in the frequency and abundance of the censused species between sampled sectors.
