متن کاملStudy on biodiversity, catch composition and length frequency distribution around the fish aggregation device in Qeshm Island Persian Gulf
The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of fish aggregation device (FAD) deployment on biodiversity, catch composition and length frequency distribution in the Qeshm Island handline fishery. Two FADs were deployed in the Qeshm Island. Four biodiversity indices including Margalef, Shannon-Weaver, Simpson and Pielou and also catch composition and length frequency distribut...
متن کاملEcological classification of southern intertidal zones of Qeshm Island, based on CMECS model
The “Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS)”, a new approach to ecological classification, was applied to 122 km of the southern intertidal zone of Qeshm Island located the Hormouz Strait - the Persian Gulf. Two components of this model, Surface Geology (SGC) and Biotic Cover (BCC) were used. Considering the extent and geomorphological alternations of the covered area, 12...
متن کاملRelationships between Species Diversity and Biomass in Mountainous Habitats in Zagros Rangeland (Case Study: Baneh, Kurdistan, Iran)
Species diversity, richness and biomasses (aboveground biomass) and their relationships are the key variables of ecosystems. This study was conducted to determine the relationship of Species Diversity (SD) and Species Richness (SR) with Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) at a local scale at 5 different habitats (shrubland, forbland, grassland, shrub-forbland and forb-shrubland) in Zagros mountains in w...
متن کاملIsland area and species diversity in the southwest Pacific Ocean: is the lizard fauna of Vanuatu depauperate?
One island group suggested to be an exception to the species!area relationship is the Vanuatu Archipelago, a group of 13 large and 80 small islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean. To test the hypothesis that the lizard fauna of the Vanuatu Archipelago does not meet the predictions of the species!area relationship, and thus is depauperate, we compare diversity among several island groups in the ...
