Abstract (en):
Within the marine zooplankton hydromedusae have a high taxonomic and an ecological significance, despite which little is known about these organisms for the Colombian Pacific Ocean (OPC). For these reasons, among others, the first list of genera and species for this region is presented. An intensive literature review of previous work in the OPC was accomplished; also 158 samples of mesozooplankton obtained during six oceanographic cruises of the Regional Study of the phenomenon known as âEl Niñoâ (ERFEN) undertaken from 2001 to 2005 were examined. 6072 hydromedusae were captured, of which 6003 were identified. From this information, plus that obtained in the literature, it was concluded that to date 27 genera and 40 species for the OPC have been identified.

Dentro del zooplancton marino las hidromedusas tienen gran relevancia taxonómica y ecológica, pese a lo cual hay escasa información sobre estos organismos para el Océano Pacífico colombiano (OPC). Por estas razones, entre otras, se presenta el primer listado de géneros y especies para esa región. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica intensiva de trabajos anteriores en el OPC. Además, se examinaron 158 muestras de mesozooplancton obtenidas durante seis cruceros oceanográficos de la serie ERFEN (Estudio Regional del Fenómeno El Niño) realizados de 2001 a 2005. Se capturaron 6072 hidromedusas, de las cuales 6003 fueron identificadas; de esta información, más la obtenida en la literatura, se concluyó que hasta la fecha han sido identificados 27 géneros y 40 especies para el OPC.
