Abstract
From November 1984 to July 1985, 130 plantules of Rhizophora mangle (24 cm of mean height) were transplanted from Caño Lequeriquia (Canal del Dique) from upper, middle and lower litoral zones in Arena, Macabi and Pavitos islands, respectively exposed, intermediate exposed and not exposed. Density was 9 ind./m. A 20.80% was established with 21.96 mm mean month growth. The best results were obtained in lower littoral zone, protected island (Pavitos I.). A peak was observed both in leaf production and in mean month growth for all trials in the month that when the rains began.
