Los camarones (Crustácea: Decapoda: Natantia) asociados a praderas de Thalassia Testudinum Banks ex koning, en la región de Santa Marta, caribe colombiano
Bimonthly samplings were made from November 1988 to September 1989 in the bays of Nenguange, Gayraca, Chengue and Santa Marta, in the Colombian Caribbean, in order to inventory and quantify the shrimp populations associated to Thalassia testudinum beds. A suctioning device connected to a net bag with a mesh size of 1 mm was used for collecting. Shrimp populations data related to habitat complexity were quantified. A total of 2185 individuals were collected, 2183 of which belonging to 7 families, 21 genera and 35 species, one mysis stage, and one Peneidae post larva. Although the number of species collected is high, only 9 were considered permanent, 17 occasional and 9 sporadic. The most abundant species were Periclimenes americanus, Alpheus normanni, Latreutes fucorum, Sicyonia laevigata, Hippolyte curacaoensis, A viridari, L. parvulus, Metapenaeopsis goodei, Thor manningi and Processa fimbriata. High variations in the structure and composition of the shrimp populations were found throughout the study; they were related to grass-bed architecture.
