| Abstract in Brazilian Portuguese: | Este estudo apresenta uma análise dos bioconstrutores recifais do Atol das Rocas, Nordeste do Brasil, amostrados em janeiro e fevereiro de 2008. Os resultados demonstraram a presença de uma comunidade constituída principalmente por algas calcárias (Porolithon pachydermum, Sporolithon sp., Lithoporella sp., Lithophyllum sp.), corais (Siderastrea stellata, Favia gravida), moluscos vermetídeos (Dendropoma irregulare, Petaloconchus varians) e foraminíferos (Homotrema rubrum) na formação do recife. Este levantamento taxonômico demonstra a importância de diferentes espécies |
