Abstract
Oxygen consumption values for Lytechinus variegatus in a 24 hour cycle are reported for the first time in the Colombian Caribbean. The expectation of a circadian rhythm of activity as reflected in oxygen consumption was not confirmed. The ecotrophic role of L. variegatus is briefly reviewed and discussed
