Consequences of marine barriers for genetic diversity of the coral-specialist yellowbar angelfish from the Northwestern Indian Ocean
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Ocean circulation, geological history, geographic distance, and seascape heterogeneity play an important role in phylogeography of coral‐dependent fishes. Here, we investigate potential genetic population structure within ...
Formation and weathering assessment of oil-suspended sediment aggregates through a laboratory investigation.
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Formation of oil-suspended sediment aggregates (OSAs) is believed to be one of the natural cleaning processes in the marine environment. In this study, we have investigated the formation processes of OSAs under different ...
The first record of the Indo-Pacific benthic ctenophore Coeloplana (Benthoplana) meteoris (Ctenophora: Coeloplanidae) in the ArabianPersian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
This report presents the first occurrence of the Indo-Pacific benthic ctenophore Coeloplana (Benthoplana) meteoris (Thiel, 1968) in the western part of the Arabian-Persian Gulf, extending its range to 2000km, a record that ...
Observed variability in physical and biogeochemical parameters in the central Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
In situ measurements of physical and biogeochemical variables were conducted along a transect in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during late summer (September 2014) and winter (January 2015) to investigate their ...
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, ...
Using vertebrate environmental DNA from seawater in biomonitoring of marine habitats
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Conservation and management of marine biodiversity depends on biomonitoring of marine habitats, but current approaches are resource‐intensive and require different approaches for different organisms. Environmental DNA ...
Sources, spatial distribution and characteristics of marine litter along the west coast of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The spatial distribution, sources and characteristics of marine litter (ML) from 36 locations spread over 12 beaches along the west coast of Qatar have been assessed. A total of 2376 ML items with varying sizes were found ...
Distribution and environmental geochemical indices of mercury in tar contaminated beaches along the coast of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The current study aimed to gauge total mercury (THg) concentration and the environmental geochemical indices in tarmat contaminated sediments and test their presence in targeted coastal species. Layers of hard asphalt-like ...
Role of shamal and easterly winds on the wave characteristics off Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Waves in the Arabian Gulf (Gulf) are dominated by shamal winds during winter and early summer. Although wave characteristics in the Gulf are broadly studied, features associated with various wind systems are not explicitly ...
Methylmercury, Trace Metals, Organotins and Their Effects on the Qatari Mangrove Shrimp, Palaemon khori
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The Qatari mangroves of Al-Khor are being increasingly exposed to a wide variety of anthropogenic pollutants due to land reclamation and urban expansion. In this study, we evaluated the lethal and genotoxic effects of ...
