Resumen
La calidad del agua de mar fue descrita en la costa caribeña de Panamá con base en parámetros fisicoquímicos del agua y estudios de monitoreo biológico. Se recolectaron muestras de agua y macroinvertebrados bentónicos cerca de Punta Galeta, provincia de Colón, Panamá. El área de muestreo estaba protegida de la acción de las olas y ubicada entre el arrecife de coral y los manglares. La
clase Polychaeta fue la más abundante con 90 % de presencia general en Punta Galeta. Las clases taxonómicas de Bivalvia, Malacostraca y Ophiuroidea sólo representaron 10 % en total. En general, la calidad del agua de mar fue adecuada para las especies recolectadas de
macroinvertebrados, a pesar de registrar concentraciones de nitrato y fosfato por encima de los valores recomendados. Los valores registrados de temperatura, pH y oxígeno disuelto indicaron que el sitio está lejos de alcanzar condiciones hipóxicas. El índice de calidad del agua indica una buena calidad del agua en Punta Galeta. Se requieren estudios adicionales con programas de muestreo más robustos e intensos para definir adecuadamente las variaciones estacionales de la calidad del agua y su vínculo con los macroinvertebrados bentónicos. Estudios
similares en el Caribe de Panamá son escasos a pesar de que ofrecen información valiosa para los administradores de recursos hídricos.
