protected area, completeness, inventory, deep fish faunaAbstract
Georeference records of deep demersal fishes (> 200 m) inside the Parque Nacional Natural Corales de Profundidad (Colombian Caribbean) were collected and a list of species is composed and presented for the first time. Completeness of this inventory is explored, and a first schema of fish assemblages is proposed. 427 records were found corresponding to 105 species. The inventory is deficient with an explored area of 32.6 % of the park. The potential of fish assemblages inside the park is highlighted which may be relevant for its management.
