Abstract (en):
Malaga Bay, located within the Tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean, between 3°56’ – 4°05’ N and 77°19’ – 77° 21’W, comprises the central zone of the colombian Pacific Ocean, where the continental shelf portion is greater than in other areas. The bay has an average depth of 12- 15 m, and an average area of 126 km2. Oceanographic and climatic conditions of the area make it a typically estuarine zone of the Colombian Pacific (Cantera et al. 1999). The principal habitats within the bay include sandy, rocky and muddy beaches, cliffs and extended mangrove forests (Cantera et al. 1999); the diversity of these habitats leads to a diverse population of biological groups, including fish.
Abstract (es):
Bahía Málaga, ubicada dentro del Pacífico Oriental Tropical, entre los 3°56’ – 4°05’ N y los 77°19’ – 77°21’W, comprende la zona central de la costa pacífica colombiana en donde la plataforma continental se extiende un poco más de lo normal en esta región. La profundidad promedio es de 12 a 15 m y tiene un área aproximada de 126 km2. Las características oceanográficas y climatológicas de Bahía Málaga permiten reconocerla como una zona típicamente estuarina del Pacífico colombiano (Cantera et al. 1999). Los principales hábitats que se encuentran en la bahía son playas arenosas, rocosas y fangosas; acantilados; y extensos bosques de manglar (Cantera et al. 1999) y la diversidad de esos paisajes contribuye a la presencia de distintos grupos biológicos, incluyendo los peces.
