Habitat use of shrimps in the intertidal and shallow subtidal seagrass beds of the tropical Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania
The Banc d’Arguin in Mauritania is an area characterised by shallow waters and tidal flats with extensive seagrass beds. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the Banc d’Arguin tidal flats as a habitat and a nursery for shrimps. Shrimps were sampled in the Baie d’Aouatif in the intertidal (ponds, Zostera noltii seagrass beds and bare sediment) with a push net during high and low ti...
متن کاملBenthic metabolism across a gradient of anthropogenic impact in three shallow coastal lagoons in NW Florida
Seagrasses are being lost at alarming rates worldwide, most often due to anthropogenic effects, but few reports have examined how seagrass loss affects the metabolism of coastal ecosystems. Here, we address this question by comparing both areal and system-integrated daytime benthic metabolic rates across 3 lagoons in the North Central Gulf of Mexico that display varying levels of abundance of t...
متن کاملCarbon and Carbonate Metabolism in Coastal Aquatic Ecosystems
The coastal zone is where land, ocean, and atmosphere interact. It exhibits a wide diversity of geomorphological types and ecosystems, each one displaying great variability in terms of physical and biogeochemical forcings. Despite its relatively modest surface area, the coastal zone plays a considerable role in the biogeochemical cycles because it receives massive inputs of terrestrial organic ...
متن کاملTolerance of benthic macrofauna to hypoxia and anoxia in shallow coastal seas: a realistic scenario
Oxygen depletion can lead to the collapse of benthic ecosystems, i.e. to dead zones, and large-scale biodiversity loss. Based on mortality and survival, we evaluated ranges of sensitivity and tolerance to hypoxia levels, duration of anoxia and H2S exposure across taxa and key life habits. Experiments were conducted on a sublittoral soft-bottom under realistic in situ conditions in a community s...
متن کاملDiscriminating mesozooplankton communities in Bushehr marine coastal ecosystems- Persian Gulf
Coastal ecosystems of Bushehr are shallow environments subject to human impacts, including shrimp aquaculture and urban expansion activities. A spatial-temporal study was conducted in order to assess the actual ecological status of the creeks, estuary and marine sites on the basis of their taxonomic composition and density of mesozooplankton. Zooplankton species distribution and abundance data ...
