Resumo

Os mesobentos são uma comunidade que habita nos sedimentos, tem uma variedade de grupos taxonômicos com tamanhos entre 63 e 500 µm. Representam um vínculo de matéria e energia entre os produtores primários e a macrofauna, com outras funções para o ecossistema. Na Venezuela, este grupo tem sido escassamente estudado e, por essa razão foi proposta a análise das variações espaciais e temporais da composição e abundância de mesobentos sublitorâneos na zona costeira central do país. As amostragens foram realizadas mensalmente, desde junho de 2014 a março de 2015. Em cada campanha de amostragem foram estabelecidas 12 estações aleatórias e em cada uma delas obtidas 3 amostras com a utilização de um dispositivo cilíndrico de 5 cm de diâmetro interno. A identificação e a contagem dos organismos foram realizadas com microscópio. Para a análise dos resultados, foram realizados testes de hipóteses (ANOSIM) e análises multivariadas (SIMPER, nMDS). A mesofauna mostrou uma riqueza de 164 morfotipos e 14 filos, com predominância de copépodes planctônicos e foraminíferos, seguidos de cnidários e moluscos. Dessas espécies, 84 eram estritamente bentônicas. Quanto à abundância, houve maior representação de foraminíferos, seguido de nematoides e moluscos, com valores superiores aos relatados nas áreas tropicais. No que se refere ao espaço, não foram encontradas diferenças na composição e abundância desta comunidade. Entretanto, temporariamente, foram encontrados dois máximos, um iniciado em junho, que alcançou as densidades máximas entre agosto e outubro, e o segundo em fevereiro.
