REMAPE comprises a marine area consisting of a rocky reef with 13 underwater shoals with coral patches and the islet of El Pelado, two mangrove areas, and the coastal villages of Palmar, Ayangue, San Pedro, and Valdivia.

agurtor@espol.edu.ec 0000-0001-9547-8020 The sampling methodologies generally involved collecting solitary and colonial species in such a way as not to affect biodiversity. The collection was carried out with the aid of Ziploc bags and nets to transport the bags containing the samples underwater. In the case of Cnidaria and Porifera groups, sampling was carried out with scissors, and in the case of Chordata, with blunt knives. The samples were photographed in situ. Once collected, the samples were taken aboard a boat and placed in containers filled with seawater from the site. The specimens were then transported to the Taxonomy Laboratory at CENAIM-ESPOL. In the laboratory, they were separated into containers with seawater from the site, photographed, cleaned of detritus, and recorded in a physical logbook. The logbook recorded the assigned code with the corresponding description of its morphological characteristics and observation of any symbionts present. In addition, the laboratories that were designated for the subsamples and method of preservation were recorded. The samples were collected from rocky and intertidal areas of the El Pelado Marine Reserve (REMAPE). The collection sites were: Among the rocky and intertidal areas sampled are: Acuario, Ayangue Bahía, Ayangue Costa, Ayangue intertidal, Ayangue Sur, Bajo 40, Bajo Tello, La Pared, La Viejita, Laberinto, Líneas de CENAIM, Palmar, Rabo del Viejo, San Pedro Intertidal, San Pedro Subtidal, and Area protegida. Sampling was carried out in rocky or intertidal areas, as the most important species are sessile invertebrates. The average depths of these subtidal zones ranged from 2 to 30 meters. Jenny Rodríguez 0000-0002-4773-0700 principalInvestigator The National Center for Aquaculture and Marine Research (CENAIM) sought to respond to the challenges of the national program for good living, which guarantees the rights of nature by promoting a healthy and sustainable environment, through a project that pursues the valorization and sustainable use of biodiversity, with applications in food, health, aquaculture, and conservation. Consistent with the center's mission and considering the significant gaps that exist in this area in the country, the study of marine biodiversity presents an opportunity for scientific and technological development through biodiscovery. Funded by the Secretariat of Higher Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation (SENESCYT) through Project PIC-14-CENAIM-001 The equatorial front zone is subject to a strong thermohaline gradient due to the mixing of cold and warm waters and the upwelling of nutrient-rich deep waters. It is characterized by its biodiversity and constitutes a functional biodiversity hotspot. (http://www.nature.com/news/new-measure-shifts-biodiversity-focus-1.13800). Within this zone is the El Pelado Marine Reserve (131 km²), which in October 2012 was incorporated into the National Heritage of Protected Areas (Official Register 802, Agreement 118). The reserve is located in the province of Santa Elena and covers the area of Playa del Palmar, Ayangue, and Valdivia. Based on these advantages, it was selected as the project's working site. The oceanographic conditions and rocky environments guarantee functional diversity, complex ecological interactions between organisms and their microorganisms, and a large reservoir of metabolites. 2022-09-20T03:09:25.930+00:00 dataset Agurto-Rodríguez G, Agurto-Rodriguez M G (2026).
