The Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) is one of the commercial pelagic fish in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. In the current research, food preference index (FP), fullness index (FI), and stomach contents of Rastrelliger kanagurta were evaluated to assess the quantity and type of food which this species consumes in the study area. The samples were collected randomly from Bandar - Abbas a...

temporal and spatial variation of zooplankton abundance, composition and biomass were examined on the chabahar bay, oman sea. the chabahar bay, a subtropical and semi-enclosed bay, provides an ideal breeding ground for many fish and shellfish. five stations were investigated along the bay. this area is under the influence of the indian ocean seasonal monsoons. zooplankton was collected with ver...

Abstract: To investigate possible seasonal patterns in water quality and plankton distribution, weekly samples were collected in a coral reef lagoon and in surrounding nearshore waters over a two year period. Additionally, two oceanographic surveys were also conducted in a larger area surrounding the primary study site during the seasonal extremes. The resulting information corroborated previou...

This study presents an assessment of benthic nutrient regeneration and its role for the budget outer Laptev East Siberian shelf sea. Porewater profiles major nutrients dissolved silica (DSi), inorganic nitrogen (DIN), phosphate (DIP) as well total iron (DFe) were evaluated with a one-dimensional reaction transport model to derive net rates fluxes from slope 16 stations. Integrated over area DSi...

For the Ross Sea, only Marine Protected Area in Antarctica, available data on tintinnid ciliates of marine microzooplankton are mostly limited to nearshore waters near Terra Nova Bay or vicinity McMurdo Sound. Here, we report results from a geographically extensive sampling across Sea conducted December 2020. Material plankton net tows (20 µm mesh), made at 38 stations spanning over 30° latitud...

caspian sea is the largest enclosed body of water on the earth. since the collapse of soviet union in 1991 and discovering large oil and gas fields, some issues such as political, economic and environmental events, made the caspian sea important. the ecology of the sea are being endangered due to several issues such as petroleum extraction, river and sea pollutions, water level rise, biological...

Plastic debris has been documented in many marine ecosystems, including remote coastlines, the water column, the deep sea, and subtropical gyres. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), colloquially called the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," has been an area of particular scientific and public concern. However, quantitative assessments of the extent and variability of plastic in the NPSG have...

Abstract The snow crab ( Chionoecetes opilio ) is an Arctic cold-water species native to the northwestern Atlantic Ocean and northern Pacific Ocean. During recent decades, a population has established in Barents Sea. Several aspects of crabs’ biology this area have not been described, including time hatching, intermoult duration different larval stages distribution. Insight into early-life migh...
