QUANTITATIVE BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC MODEL FOR THE TERTIARY OF THE LOWER MAGDALENA BASIN, COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN Modelo bioestratigráfico cuantitativo para el Terciario de la Cuenca Inferior... by Carlos Cuartas, Carlos Jaramillo, José Martínez

“…The reinterpretation of biostratigraphic information by new models and quantitative correlation techniques substantially improves its resolution and its correlative potential, thus minimizing oil exploration risks. With this aim, biostratigraphic information, i.e. first (FO) and last (LO) occurrence events of benthonic and planktonic foraminifera was analysed from sixteen wells from the Lower Magdalena Valley (LMV). …”

The distribution and abundance of wetland ichthyofauna,and exploitation of the fisheries in the Godineau Swamp,Trinidad -Case study by Himawatee Ramsundar

“…The Godineau (South Oropuche)Swamp (3171 ha)on the southwestern coast of Trinidad (10 º13- 15 ’N,61 º30-32 ’W)is heavily impacted by anthropogenic activities including fishing,oil exploration, drainage manipulation and wetland clearance.To reduce the negative effects of these activities and to manage the swamp more sustainably,more quantitative information is needed on the ecology of the wetland and the activities that occur within it.This study focuses on the distribution of the fish resources and exploited fisheries as a basis for more informed management directives. …”
