Abstract This study examines the future climate change in South Asia region during 2070–2099 with respect to historical period (1975–2004) under RCP8.5 scenario using a high-resolution regional earth system model. We found substantial changes key climatic parameters over including ocean biological productivity, however, magnitude of response varies spatially. A increase (> 2.5 °C) projected ...

Study of morphological, anatomical characteristics and metabolic assay some Ulva species (sea lettuce) in the coastal waters Persian Gulf, Iran

Small pelagic fishes particularly anchovy (Encrasicholina punctifer) and sardine (Sardinella sindensis) have an important role to support the Iranian fisheries, and are distributed along the entire length of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea coastal waters. Using small pelagic fisheries logbook, a GIS-based environmental modelling approach was applied to investigate the presence and abundance of an...

BACKGROUND Since 1993, many studies on the health of Persian Gulf War veterans (PGWVs) have been undertaken. Some authors have concluded that an association exists between Gulf War service and reported infertility or miscarriage, but that effects on PGWV's children were limited. The present study's objective was to describe the reproductive outcome and health of offspring of French Gulf War vet...

BACKGROUND The BP oil spill of 2010 resulted in contamination of one of the most productive fisheries in the United States by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs, which can accumulate in seafood, are known carcinogens and developmental toxicants. In response to the oil spill, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) developed risk criteria and established thresholds for allowable l...
