| Abstract |
An updated list of phytoplankton species in Tumaco Bay is presented, generated from available literature from 1979 to 2019 and oceanographic campaigns conducted by the Laboratory of the Pacific Oceanographic and Hydrographic Research Center (CCCP) of the Directorate General Maritime (DIMAR). A total of 400 species comprised in eight divisions are recorded: Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Charophyta, Euglenophyta, Haptophyta, Ochorophyta, Bacillariophyta and Dinophyta, two subdivisions, 12 classes, 14 subclasses, 53 orders, 93 families, and 146 genera. Diatoms constituted the most diverse taxa, followed by dinoflagellates; some representatives of cyanobacteria were identified at the generic level. Four genera and five morphospecies represent desmidias, while only two species represent silicoflagellates. The flagellates, euglenas, and chlorophyta are represented by one genus and one morphospecies. The genera with the highest number of species were: Chaetoceros (30), Tripos (29), Protoperidinium (24), Nitzschia (15), Rhizosolenia (12) and Coscinodiscus (10). From the samples analyzed in the laboratory, a total of 152 species were recorded, 39 of which were recorded for the first time in Tumaco Bay. Species were identified according to their habitat and Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) forming species were determined. |
