Coverage and status of coral reefs and ichthyofauna associated in Cacique beach and Mamey island, Portobelo, Colón

Coral reefs are communities of protection of the coastal zone and feeding of many species. It is important to evaluate the state of coral reefs, in order to protect and maintain the health of these important ecosystems.

description Coral reefs are communities of protection of the coastal zone and feeding of many species. It is important to evaluate the state of coral reefs, in order to protect and maintain the health of these important ecosystems. This work was carried out in Playa Cacique and Isla Mamey in Colón (Caribbean cost of Panama), in two locations with different human activities. Two field trips were made with four field days with a total of 12 hours. At each station, 10-meter-long random transects were established perpendicular to the coast. The results yielded good percentages of live coral for both study areas, there was a diversity of 14 coral species and Faviidae being the most diverse family, and a comparison made 41% of live coral was noticed in the Mamey station, but Cacique has more vegetation, and Cacique has 13 of the 14 coral species. The reefs were mostly represented by fire corals in transects three and four in Cacique and transects one and two in Mamey, represented by shallow water. In addition, transect four in Mamey and one in Cacique presented a greater diversity of coral species. Regarding the abundance and diversity of associated ichthyofauna, there was no significant difference between the two study areas, presenting a diversity of 21 species and 11 families, Halichoeres pictus being the most common species, and Labridae the most diverse family. We performed the Simpson Index for fish diversity in the two study areas, resulting in: Cacique Beach (0.745) and Mamey Island (0.812), and the variance was 1.01, with Mamey having the greatest diversity of fish species. As conclusions, the Fire Coral species are presented and colonize the shallow waters of Cacique Beach and Mamey Island, and this last area presented a high diversity of coral species.  However, Cacique corals are maintained in a better state, having a Mangrove ecosystem that mitigates sediment towards corals. The Halichoeres pictus species was present in most of the transects, due to its adaptation to waters with strong waves. An effort must be made to mitigate the anthropogenic activities of these two localities and to increase research on corals and associated fish in the area.

Es importante evaluar el estado de estos, para así poder proteger y mantener la salud de estos ecosistemas tan importantes. Este trabajo se realizó en Playa Cacique e Isla Mamey en Colón (Caribe Panameño), en dos localidades con actividades humanas diferentes. Se realizaron dos salidas al campo con cuatro días de campo con 12 horas en total. En cada estación se establecieron transectos al azar de 10 m de largo perpendiculares a la costa. Los resultados arrojaron buenos porcentajes de coral vivo para ambas áreas de estudio, hubo una diversidad de 14 especies de corales, siendo la familia Faviidae la más diversa. En comparación realizada se notó un 41% de coral vivo en la estación de Mamey, pero Cacique posee más vegetación.  Además, Cacique posee 13 de las 14 especies de corales. Los arrecifes, en su mayoría estaban representados por corales fuego en los transectos tres y cuadro de Cacique y uno y dos de Mamey, representadas por aguas someras. Además, el transecto cuatro de Mamey y uno de Cacique presentaron mayor diversidad de especies de corales. En cuanto a la abundancia y diversidad de ictiofauna asociada, no presentó una diferencia significativa entre las dos áreas de estudio, presentando una diversidad de 21 especies y 11 familias, siendo Halichoeres pictus la especie más común, y Labridae la familia más diversa. Realizamos el índice de Simpson para la diversidad de peces en las dos áreas de estudio, dando como resultado: Playa Cacique (0.745) e Isla Mamey (0.812), y la varianza fue de 1.01, teniendo Mamey la mayor diversidad de especies de peces. Como conclusiones, las especies de Coral de fuego se presentan y colonizan las aguas someras de Playa Cacique e Isla Mamey, y esta última zona presentó una alta diversidad de especies de coral, pero los corales de Cacique se mantienen en mejor estado, al tener un ecosistema de manglares que mitiga el sedimento hacia los corales. La especie Halichoeres pictus se presentó en la mayoría de los transectos, debido a su adaptación a aguas con fuertes oleajes. Se debe hacer un esfuerzo para mitigar las actividades antropogénicas de estas dos localidades y aumentar el estudio de los corales y peces asociados en el area.Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá11/12/20192020-03-03T15:46:26Z2020-03-03T15:46:26Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/ric/article/view/236410.33412/rev-ric.v5.0.2364https://ridda2.utp.ac.pa/handle/123456789/100832413-67862412-0464Revista de Iniciación Científica; Vol. 5 (2019): Revista de Iniciación Científica; Edición Especial N°3 Vol.5.0 -N°.1 (2018); 14-22reponame:Repositorio Institucional de documento digitales de acceso abierto de la UTPinstname:Universidad Tecnológica de Panamáinstacron:U Tecnológica de Panamáspahttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/ric/article/view/2364/3227info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/oai:ridda2.utp.ac.pa:123456789/100832021-05-17T21:19:47Z
