| Sumario: | The coralline is a biocenosis composed mainly of calcareous algae and engineer organisms that create a hard substrate which is a scarce resource in the ocean, so it creates a great opportunity to be a habitat for many species. They are very complex ecosystems of infinitely varied environments leading to one of the world´s most fabulous underwater landscapes. In the Mediterranean about 2 nautical miles from Gandía and about 17 meters deep, it has been found an enclave called by local fishermen as Vinyeta located on a background of soft sediment. It has thickness of about 2,5 meters with a minimum of 1m and a maximum of 3m. The typical of this coralline Eunicella verrucosa colonies, grow to nearly 6000 colonies per hectare. Such biodiversity of this enclave should become a protected area. In this work a permanent transect to continue further studies are designed. More than 8000 individuals in a total of 10 samples have been collected from which more than 200 different species have been identified, among which are molluscs, polychaete, arthropods, sponges, etc. |
