| Although ascidians form a conspicuous part of sessile assemblages in the Caribbean, no specialized inventories have been developed in Venezuela, except for a list of 15 species reported from Margarita Island (1984). Here we present the results of a taxonomic workshop held in the Universidad de Oriente, Boca del Rio, Margarita Island during April 20-25 of 2009, sponsored by the NaGISA-Caribbean Sea program. La Restinga National park was surveyed and we found 29 species belonging to 19 genera and 10 families. The most abundant colonial species were Clavelina oblonga, Aplidium accarense, Polyclinum constellatum, Distaplia bermudensis, Symplegma rubra, S. brakenhielmi, Botrylloides nigrum and Ecteinascidia turbinata. Among the solitary ascidians Phallusia... |

| ABSTRACT The stranding of an adult male Blalaenoptera Physalus (Mysticeti: Balaenopteridae) in Los Cocoteros Beach in Margarita Island, Venezuela, gave the chance of studying the interactions present in it. 33 injuriess were found in several points of rorqual tegument; oval or rounded in shape, like craters, from 5 to 7 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, and 3 to 5 cm deep. Most of them, were fresh. Wounds were attributed to the cookie cutter shark Isistius sp. (Elasmobranchii: Dalatiidae), given the remarkable correspondences. The present note constitutes the first known association between the cookie cutter shark and the fin whale in Venezuelan, Caribbean and western Atlantic waters. |

| Hasta ahora, la subfamilia Pisinae Dana, 1851 estaba representada en las costas caribeñas de Venezuela por seis especies [Chorinus heros (Herbst, 1790); Libinia ferreirae Brito Capello, 1871; Herbstia depressa Stimpson, 1870; Sphenocarcinus corrosus A. Milne-Edwards, 1878; Pelia mutica (Gibbes, 1850) y Nibilia antilocapra (Stimpson, 1871)], que representan 38 % de los cangrejos de esta subfamilia señalados para el mar Caribe. Durante una revisión de material pendiente de identificar perteneciente a la colección de crustáceos del Laboratorio de Carcinología de la Universidad de Oriente, Isla de Margarita, Venezuela, fueron hallados nueve especímenes (seis machos y tres hembras) de Apiomithrax violaceus (A. Milne-Edwards, 1868). La distribución hasta ahora... |
