“…Su restringida distribución en aguas del Caribe y el Atlántico, puede ser resultado de los escasos esfuerzos de evaluación o por requerimientos ecológicos particulares que limitan su presencia en otros hábitats. Otras especies del mismo género se han reportado extensamente en ecosistemas someros desde el trópico hasta los polos (Vieira et al, 2014), entre estos el Caribe, Mediterráneo, IndoPacífico, Mar Rojo e Islas de Cabo Verde (Schopf, 1974, Gluhak et al, 2007.…”

RESUMEN.Durante el estudio del asentamiento de la langosta espinosa (Panulirus argus) sobre colectores artificiales suspendidos en la región de Santa Marta, se evaluaron los peces y otros invertebrados asociados a estos hábitats. El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar las especies de briozoos presentes en los hábitats artificiales instalados en los sectores de la bahía de Pozos Colorados, Isla Pelícano y bahía de Taganga, así como analizar los factores ecológicos de su distribución. Como resultado se encontraron diez briozoos de los cuales Alcyonidium cf. mamillatum, Bugula neritina, Bugula cf. guara, Catenicella uberrima y Aspiscellaria piscaderaensis fueron reportados por primera vez para el Caribe colombiano, y para algunos de estos se amplió su distribución en el Atlántico Occidental Tropical. Durante la época lluviosa (septiembre-noviembre) en Isla Pelícano y Pozos Colorados se registró la mayor riqueza y abundancia de briozoos, lo que estuvo probablemente relacionado con la mayor sedimentación y turbidez, en contraste con la época seca (diciembre-febrero). De otro lado, la estación de Taganga presentó valores reducidos de las variables biológicas posiblemente por sus características de aguas claras y movimiento reducido, además de escaso alimento. Los colectores artificiales funcionaron como refugios suspendidos para el asentamiento y desarrollo de estos invertebrados, y claramente son herramientas efectivas en evaluaciones ecológicas y de diversidad, así como para actividades de maricultura.

First records of Phylum Bryozoa associated to artificial habitats in the Colombian CaribbeanABSTRACT. During the assessment of spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) settlement on suspended artificial collectors at Santa Marta region, the fishes and other invertebrates associated to these habitats were evaluated. The aim of this research was determine the species of bryozoans present in the artificial habitats deployed in Pozos Colorados Bay, Isla Pelícano and Taganga Bay, as well as analyse the ecological factors of their distribution. As a result, ten bryozoans species were found, from which Alcyonidium cf. mamillatum, Bugula neritina, Bugula cf. guara, Catenicella uberrima and Aspiscellaria piscaderaensis were reported for the first time in the Colombian Caribbean and for some of these, it extended their distribution to the Tropical Western Atlantic. In the rainy season (September-November) in Isla Pelícano and Pozos Colorados were recorded the highest bryozoans richness and abundance, probably related with increased sedimentation and turbidity, in contrast with the wet season (December-February). On the other hand, Taganga station presented reduced values of biological variables possibly by their environmental characteristics of clear water, reduced water movement and scarce food. Artificial collectors function as suspended shelters for the settlement and development of these invertebrates, a...

Abstract. Twenty-three species of cheilostome bryozoans are described from the Malaysian islands of Penang and Langkawi based on a brief reconnaisance survey of shore localities. These are the first bryozoans to be formally described from either island and they demonstrate the potential for further research on these neglected suspension feeders. Of the 23 species recorded, 12 are anascans, half of which are malacostegines, and 11 are ascophorans. The new combinations Acanthodesia falsitenuis (Liu, 1992), A. perambulata (Louis &Menon, 2009) and A. irregulata (Liu, 1992) are introduced. Most of the species recorded are widespread in the Indo-Pacific, and some are apparently globally distributed in the tropics and subtropics, including the invasive fouling species Bugula neritina, Hippoporina indica and Schizoporella japonica, as well as the coral reef associates Cranosina coronata and Hippopodina feegeensis. Plastic debris and glass bottles were encrusted by Jellyella eburnea, a coloniser of floating biological and man-made objects that is becoming widespread in the tropics and subtropics of the world's oceans.
