Epibenthic assemblages on vertical artificial substrates: recruitment and succession patterns in offshore Qatari waters
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference)Artificial structures get introduced into the marine environment by accident (e.g., shipwrecks) or intentionally, for logistical (i.e., coastal protection), industrial (i.e., oil exploitation) or biological habitat enhancement ... -
Epibenthic communities from offshore platforms in the Arabian Gulf are structured by platform age and depth
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)Oil and gas platforms act as artificial habitats for a myriad of marine organisms. In this study, we used opportunistic remotely operated vehicle (ROV) data to describe fouling assemblages through the characterization of ... -
Fouling assemblages on offshore oil platforms: diverse vertical reefs in the Arabian Gulf
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference)Coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse and complex marine ecosystems that are being degraded at rapid rates. This consistent steadily trend is especially critical in coastal areas that have experienced an ... -
Vertical zonation and functional diversity of fish assemblages revealed by ROV videos at oil platforms in The Gulf
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference)About one third of the oil and gas extracted worldwide comes from offshore sources. There is currently thousands of large-scale oil and gas platforms spread across the seas and coastal oceans, from the North Sea to the ...
