📋 Tender Overview
In order to describe the biological richness and structure of the populations of marine species that live at the bottom of the sea, the Institute of the Sea of Peru (IMARPE), through its decentralized headquarters in Huacho, carried out the inventory of the biodiversity of the benthic macrofauna of marine invertebrates on Asia Island, located off the coast of Canete.
The evaluation was carried out in different types of substrate - rocky, sandy and ground shell - at depths from 5 to 20 meters.
During the inventory, the presence of various species of marine invertebrates of commercial interest was recorded, key information to evaluate the fishing potential of the area. Likewise, samples were collected to determine the availability of resources that could support various fisheries in the long term. At the same time, the researchers measured environmental and oceanographic variables that directly influence the distribution and abundance of these species, providing a fundamental context to interpret their ecological dynamics.
The results of this research provide essential scientific information for making sustainable management decisions on the island of Asia, and also strengthens knowledge about the ecosystems of the Peruvian coast.
