This dataset represents the results of the 1st Venezuelan Workshop on Methods for Studying Seagrass Ecosystems, held at INVEMAR, Sta. Marta, Colombia, 13-17 May 2019. Thalassia testudinum density, cover and biomass were estimated using standard protocols and fish predation rate by "squidpops" protocol by MarineGEO.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Sampling was done at Chengue Bay, Tayrona National Park, Colombia. The seagrass survey was carried on in two seagrass patches (2500 and 5500 m²), one located near a coral reef, other near a mangrove ecosystem.Sampling
The study represents a survey of the cover, density and biomass of two seagrass patches, using sampling quadrants (50 x 50cm) over a 30m long transect. Fish predation rate and occurrence were estimated with the MarineGeo "squid-pop" sampling protocol in which 25 baits were placed in the seagrass; one GoPro camera was set to record the presence of fishes approaching one of the baits. Consumption rate was registered after 1 hour and 24 hours baits deployment (squid-pops), counting the number of baits present or absent. In each seagrass patch, four parallel transects lines with the squipops were deployed. In each patch's area, three quadrats were haphazardly deployed for cover and abundance estimates. Also, three sediments cylinders were extracted for estimating the seagrass biomass by plant sections (green leaves, non green leaves, shoots, rizomes, roots, other seagrass)Method steps
- Follow the standard seagrass sampling method and squid-pop protocol for Consumption rate studies.
