Abstract
Knowledge about the biological diversity of a region, in addition to its ecological importance, is essential for the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. In this paper, we present a taxonomic list of fish larvae collected in surface waters (1-10 m) of Bahia Portete, Guajira, Colombia during 2 oceanographic campaigns in July and November 2015. A total of 2763 fish larvae were captured, belonging to 37 families and 66 species. During July, the species with higher frequency of captures were Anisotremus virginicus, Stegaste sp . and Labrisomus sp.; whereas during November the most frequent species were Anchoa spinifer , Caranx sp.1 and Anisotremus virginicus . These results strengthen initiatives of integrated management of natural resources in the coastal zone of the high Guajira and increase existing knowledge about marine biological diversity of the Natural National Park Portete-Kaurele and the Colombian Caribbean.
