Abstract

In order to contribute to the knowledge of the biodiversity of the Corales de Profundidad Natural National Park, an annotated list of 80 fish species recorded in mesophotic environments in the Bajo Frijol is presented. Observations were done through technical diving with O2ptima Rebreather closed circuit equipment and Trimix. The importance of the protected area as a marine biodiversity reservoir in the continental Caribbean of Colombia is remarked.
