Anthropogenic and natural impacts threaten the sustainability of ecosystem services provided by ocean its coastlines. Coral reefs are an endangered important component tropical realm. reef science, management conservation programs greatly benefit from habitat maps when they available. This study reviews use Millennium Reef Mapping Project (MCRMP), which hierarchically mapped since 2004 coral wo...

the persian gulf is northern part of the ropme sea area (rsa), and is semi-enclosed shallow sea which located in subtropical climate. measuring is 1000km in length, varying in width 60-340km, and average depth is about 35m and maximum depth is 105m. this research was carried out during 2005-2010 for reviewing the corals status and determination of coral reef habitats distribution in the persian...

As with all coral reef systems, the ecology of Ningaloo Reef is closely linked to water circulation which transport and disperse key material such as nutrients and larvae. Circulation on coral reefs may be driven by a number of forcing mechanisms including waves, tides, wind, and buoyancy effects. Surface waves interacting with reefs have long been known to dominate the currents on many coral r...

In many tropical nations, fisheries management requires a community-based approach because small customary marine tenure areas define the spatial scale of management [1]. However, the fate of larvae originating from a community's tenure is unknown, and thus the degree to which a community can expect their management actions to replenish the fisheries within their tenure is unclear [2, 3]. Furth...

Across the globe, discussions centered on the value of nature drive many conservation and restoration decisions. As a result, justification for management activities increasingly asks for two lines of evidence: (1) biological proof of augmented ecosystem function or service, and (2) monetary valuation of these services. For oyster reefs, which have seen significant global declines and increasin...

Artificial reefs are considered to have the function of repairing and improving coastal habitat increasing fishery production, which mainly achieved by changing regional hydrodynamic conditions. The characteristics flow turbulence structure an important part characteristics. Different methods used evaluate performance artificial according their shape purpose for reef was built. For this study, ...

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are characterized by the presence of photosynthetically active organisms such as corals and algae, associated communities at depths ranging from 30 to 150 m in tropical subtropical regions. Due increased awareness potential importance these reefs an integral part reef (i.e., deep refuge, specialized biodiversity, transition zone between shallow deep-sea enviro...

This review aims at summarizing the findings of studies published over the past 15 years on the application of modified atmosphere (MA) systems for shelf life extension of fish and fishery products. This review highlights the importance of CO₂ in the preservation of seafood products, and underscores the benefits of combining MA technology with product storage in the superchilled temperature ran...
