Extreme Wind Wave Climate off Jeddah Coast, the Red Sea

Preliminary Assessment of Water Quality along the Red Sea Coast near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

This paper presents the results of preliminary assessment of water quality along Red Sea coast adjoining Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Jeddah is a major city with a population of over 2.6 million and an area 1,200 km. To study the impacts, samples of the Red Sea were collected from 24 important locations near Jeddah and analyzed in the laboratory for various water quality parameters. These parameters i...

New Intestinal Trematodes from Siganid Fishes off the Saudi Coast of the Red Sea

In small samples of the siganid fishes Siganus rivulatus Forsskål et Niebuhr and S. luridus Rüppel (Teleostei) from off the Saudi coast of the Red Sea, some individuals of each fish were found infected with a new intestinal trematode. Those of S. rivulatus were infected with Hexangium saudii sp. n. (Trematoda: Microscaphidiidae), whereas those of S. luridus with Progyliauchen magnacetabulum sp....

Modulation of wave fields by current and wind intensifications off the Catalan coast

Diversity of picoeukaryotes at an oligotrophic site off the Northeastern Red Sea Coast

BACKGROUND Picoeukaryotes are protists ≤ 3 μm composed of a wide diversity of taxonomic groups. They are an important constituent of the ocean's microbiota and perform essential ecological roles in marine nutrient and carbon cycles. Despite their importance, the true extent of their diversity has only recently been uncovered by molecular surveys that resulted in the discovery of a substantial n...

Caspian Sea south coast future climate change estimations through regional climate model

. Caspian Sea south coast future climate change estimations through regional climate model many physical of the procedures related to climate change are not perceived thoroughly. Scientific knowledge used to show those procedures completely, and to analyses forecasts is so complex, since most current studies about climate physical model have been done through semi experimental and random model...
