The catastrophic implication of harmful algal bloom (HAB) events in the Arabian Gulf is a strong indication that study spatiotemporal distribution chlorophyll-a and its relationship with other variables critical. This analyzes between (Chl-a) sea surface temperature (SST) their trends Oman along United Arab Emirates coast. Additionally, bathymetry Chl-a SST was examined. MODIS Aqua product reso...

This study aimed to evaluate the seasonal variability in surface heat content Arabian Gulf (AG) based on hydrographic data. The ocean (OHC) was initially estimated from maximum depth (75 m) show variability, where temperature reaches that depth. Then OHC re-estimated a of 35 m, which represents average AG, obtain accurate horizontal distributions. Results showed during winter, northern part AG ...

Sea turtle epibionts can provide insights into the hosts' habitat use. However, at present, there is a lack of information on sea epibiont communities in many locations worldwide. Here, we describe 46 hawksbill turtles ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) Persian Gulf. Specifically, sampled 28 from Dayyer-Nakhiloo National Park (DNNP) northern Gulf and 18 Shibderaz beach Strait Hormuz. A total 54 macro, ...

Total organic carbon has a major influence on both the chemical and biological processesthat take place in sediments. Algal bloom is one of the organic carbon levels in aquatic ecosystems. In 2009 algal bloom occurred in the Hormozgan province and prolonged for months, which finally setteled down in 2010. In this study the variations of total organic carbon (TOC), organic matter (TOM) and tot...

rocky shores are one of the most important habitats of marine environment in coastal areas. they host marine organisms including seaweeds because of existence of strong and stable substrate for their growths. intertidal rocky shores are a prominent feature on coastal areas of qeshm island located at the northern part of strait of hormuz. in order to study biomass of seaweeds on rocky intertidal...

Iranocichla persasp. n. is described from the Shur, Hasanlangi and Minab River drainages flowing into the Persian Gulf at the Strait of Hormuz in southern Iran. It is distinguished from Iranocichla hormuzensis, from the Mehran River drainage, by nuptial males having a bright orange breast and lower part of the head (vs. black), a poorly developed or invisible (vs. distinctive) "Tilapia-mark" in...

a survey on the abundance and diversity of fish larvae along the iranian waters of the oman sea, extending from hormuz strait to gowatr bay, was carried out in 2009 (before and post monsoon). fish larva were collected by a bongo net (300 µ mesh size) and temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, ph, chlorophyll-a, clarity, nitrate, nitrite, silicate and sulfate by oceanic data recorder (ctd) and...

Thirteen repetitions of a cross-channel transect in the Khuran Channel within the Strait of Hormuz allowed the description of the mean flow and semidiurnal tidal properties of a north-south transect. Water velocity profiles were obtained with a 614.4 kHz TRDI Work Horse Broadband ADCP along this 3.3 km long transect on 10 October 2014, the third day of secondary spring tide. The M2, M4 and M6 f...

In this study, measured hydrophysical data collected by the University of Miami researchers from the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz during the period December 1996 to March 1998 and climate data from the Qeshm island meteorological station were used to simulate water column turbulence south of the Qeshm Island, via General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM). The model does not use slip and fl...

background: qeshm (26.75n, 55.82e), iran, is 1500 km² island in the strait of hormuz. qeshm is a free trade zone, acting as an important channel for international commerce, and has been the site of much recent development. there is potential risk of stinging ant attacks for residents and visitors that may occur in the island. the aims of this study were to find out the fauna, dispersion, and so...
