Excess pCO2 and carbonate system geochemistry in surface seawater of the exclusive economic zone of Qatar (Arabian Gulf)
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA) were sampled in December 2018 and May 2019 in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf. pCO2, pH and CO32− were calculated from DIC and TA. ... -
Extending the southern range of four shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Stenopodidae, Hippolytidae and Alpheidae) in southwestern Atlantic (27oS) and confirming the presence of Mediterranean Stenopus spinosus Risso, 1827 in Brazil
( Zootaxa , 2015 , Article)In subtidal zones, certain shrimp species with cryptic behaviour represent a gap in the biodiversity description in many places in the world. This study extends the southern limit of Stenopus hispidus (Oliver, 1811), Alpheus ... -
Extreme value analysis of wave climate around Farasan Islands, southern Red Sea
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)The study investigates extreme value analysis of wave climate around the Farasan islands’ protected coastal zone in the southern Red Sea. It provides an overall idea of the extreme wave conditions in the southern Red Sea, ... -
Factors influencing the vertical distribution of microplastics in the beach sediments around the Ras Rakan Island, Qatar
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental problem, particularly in the marine environment, and nations are concerned about this issue. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the vertical ... -
Faunal mediated carbon export from mangroves in an arid area
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)The outwelling paradigm argues that mangrove and saltmarsh wetlands export much excess production to downstream marine systems. However, outwelling is difficult to quantify and currently 40–50% of fixed carbon is unaccounted ... -
Feeding on intertidal microbial mats by postlarval tiger shrimp, Penaeus semisulcatus De Haan
( Springer Berlin / Heidelberg , 2009 , Article)A series of experiments investigated the potential role of microbial mats in nutrition of the early settlement stages of Penaeus semisulcatus. From 3 days post-metamorphosis, the microbial mat supported high growth and ... -
Feminization of hawksbill turtle hatchlings in the twenty-first century at an important regional nesting aggregation
( Inter Research , 2021 , Article)Projected climate change is forecasted to have significant effects on biological systems worldwide. Marine turtles in particular may be vulnerable, as the sex of their offspring is determined by their incubating temperature, ... -
