This research was conducted in March 2022 the waters of Talam Island, Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatera Province. study aims to determine condition coral reef cover, abundance fish family pomacentridae and relationship between live cover Island. Coral data collection carried out using LIT (Line Intercept Transect) method, with a transect length 50 meters for UVC (Underwater Visual Cencus...

BACKGROUND Closely related, ecologically similar species often have adjacent distributions, suggesting competitive exclusion may contribute to the structure of some natural communities. In systems such as island archipelagos, where speciation is often tightly associated with dispersal over oceanic barriers, competitive exclusion may prevent population establishment following inter-island disper...

introduction: providing the material for penile reconstruction after release of chordee associated with hypospadias is challenging. we have used the preputial vascularized island flap for this purpose. we report the results of this prospective study. materials and methods: one hundred and twelve boys ranging from 13 months to 12 years of age were enrolled in this study. the location of meatus r...

fungal pathogens could be isolated from sputum by classic and molecular methods. After 4–5 days, his temperature was 40°C, a productive cough with dyspnea was noted, and his condition deteriorated. A chest radiograph showed progression of the infiltrates, and a computed tomography scan of the abdomen and chest showed infiltrates near the pleura, suggesting encapsulated fluid (Figure). An ultras...

A new species of the genus Himertosoma Schmiedeknecht, Himertosoma kuslitzkiisp. n., was discovered in Amamioshima Island, the Ryukyus. This new species resembles two Oriental species, Himertosoma philippense Chandra & Gupta and Himertosoma townesi Chandra & Gupta, in the colour pattern of the head and metasoma, number of flagellomeres, and the relatively slender first metasomal tergite, but ca...

Although many sharks begin their life confined in nursery habitats, it is unknown how rapidly they disperse away from their natal area once they leave the nursery. We examine this issue in immature lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris) from the time they leave the nursery (approximately age 3) at a subtropical island (Bimini, Bahamas), through to the onset of sexual maturity (approximately age ...

The economic growth of aquaculture and the dependence of a large growing population on coastal resources have led to coastal degradation and reduced resources. In this paper while realizing the potential capacities of the island systems,  the aquaculture activities of the island are specially discussed  in the framework of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). Therefore, in this study, fir...

Growth front morphology of a thin film formed by physical vapor deposition is controlled by many factors including surface diffusion and shadowing effects. Instabilities can occur if shadowing is more dominant compared to other surface effects and can lead to many diverse physically self-assembled three-dimensional nano-size structures. In this article, we explore the fundamental nucleation and...

Spat~al and temporal variations in abundance of ectoparasites from 7 coral reef fish species [Hemigyrnnus melapterus (Labridae), Siganus doliatus (Siganidae), Scolopsis bilinea tus (Nemipteridae), Thalassoma lunare (Labridae), Scarus sordidus (Scaridae), Ctenochaetus stn'atus (Acanthuridae), and Acanthochromis polyacanthus (Pomacentridae)] at 2 locations, Lizard Island and Heron Island in the G...

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was carried out on representative individuals of wild Haliotis asinina using 64 primer combinations. Nine polymorphic AFLPs were cloned and sequenced. Sequence-specific primers were designed from six AFLP-derived fragments. Three sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers (HaSCAR(320), HaSCAR(295), HaSCAR(327)) were selected for...
