EFA profiles demonstrated that Tayrona, Galerazamba, Manaure and Salina Cero strains are suitable food for marine fish and crustacean culture because of their high EPA/ArA ratio, but might have to be fortified with DHA rich emulsions depending on the nutritional requirements of the species to be cultured, because of their overall low DHA content.
In contrast, the strains from Tayrona, Kangarú, Salina Cero, and Pozos Colorados may be of use but limited to Artemia small biomass production quantities, because of the small surface area of their respective locations; Artemia could be exploited at these locations for local aquaculture applications.

The capital of the department of Magdalena, Santa Marta is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the country -- because of its colonial buildings, its hotel infrastructure, picturesque landscape, white-sand beaches, and nearby national parks like the Tayrona Park and the majestic Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta.
A result of the vast engineering and agricultural knowledge of the Tayrona Indians known as "Buritica 200" or "The Lost City." It's a complex of terraces and mud streets that communicated it between other villages -- retention walls, water deposits, a complex sewer system and aqueduct and more.
It's a natural park of great importance for humanity and ancestral territory of the Tayrona Culture, inhabited by the Koguis and Azarios.
