Nine species were dominant: Nematistius pectoralis, Kiphosus elegans, Gerres cinereus, Scomberomorus concolor, Calamus brachysomus, Scomberomorus sierra, Haemulon steindachneri, Trachinotus rhodopus and Mugil cephalus. The study area has different habitats and a great richness. A list of 212 species from Concepción Bay based on 1944-1992 bibliography is presented.
