Crustáceos decápodos asociados a comunidades algales en la región de Santa Marta, Caribe colombiano
Bimonthly sampling during a one year period was carried out on three biotopes in the Santa Marta region (Bahía de Gayraca: Lithothamnion; Bahía de Chengue: Halimeda; Bahra de Concha: Sargassum) in order to determine the crustacean population associated with to them. A total of 1309 individuals of 58 species were collected. Only two species appeared at the three habitats, Mithraculus forceps y Pagurus brevidactylus. Some species were found to characterize the habitat sampled in the Santa Marta región. Lysmata wurdemanni has been found in Santa Marta only in Halimeda; some galatheids are frequently found in the Lithothamnion habitat; the spider crabs Acanthonix petiveri and Epialtus brasiliensis were found exclusively in the Sargassum habitat.
