Relationship Between Tree Size, Sediment Mud Content, Oxygen Levels, and Pneumatophore Abundance in the Mangrove Tree Species Avicennia Marina (Forssk.) Vierh
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Mangroves are important in protecting and stabilizing coastal zones. Pneumatophores of the mangrove species Avicennia marina can form a large aboveground complex of aerial roots, which are important in supporting mangrove ... -
Remotely induced storm effects on the coastal flooding along the southwest coast of India
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)The southwest coast of India is exposed to long-period swells propagated from the South Indian Ocean during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Although swells from the Southern Ocean and Atlantic Ocean were identified in the ... -
Reproductive effort of the European clam Ruditapes decussatus (Linnaeus, 1758): influence of different diets and temperatures
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)Ruditapes decussatus is a species of importance to aquaculture. For hatcheries to consistently produce spat it is essential to develop broodstock conditioning techniques. Food and temperature are the main factors that ... -
Retrieval of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the Arabian Gulf water of arid region by Sentinel-2 data
( Elsevier B.V. , 2023 , Article)Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in water increases temperature and turbidity, limits the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, and reduces biologically available oxygen. It is important to study SSC in the coastal waters ... -
Review of the large branchiopod crustacean fauna of Qatar (Anostraca, Notostraca, Spinicaudata) and adjacent countries
( Taylor and Francis , 2022 , Article)The large branchiopod crustaceans (Anostraca, Notostraca, and Spinicaudata) of Qatar have only been examined recently. Although 15 nominal species have been reported for the Arabian Peninsula, there is confusion surrounding ... -
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 ... -
Seasonal and body size-dependent variability in the bioaccumulation of PAHs and their alkyl homologues in pearl oysters in the central Arabian Gulf
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Spatiotemporal concentration patterns for 19 parents and their alkyl homologues were measured in Pinctada radiata from 7 locations in the central Arabian Gulf around Qatar in the winter, spring and summer (2014–2015). The ... -
Seasonal variability of hydrography off the east coast of Qatar, central Arabian Gulf
( Springer Nature , 2022 , Article)Seasonal variability of hydrography along a nearshore-offshore transect in the eastern part of the EEZ of Qatar has been analyzed using in situ measurements carried out during 5 different months. The study reveals distinct ... -
Seasonal variation and spatial distribution of microplastic pellets and their associated contaminants along the central east coast of India
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)Microplastic pellets (MPPs) are one of the significant sources of plastic pollution on shorelines worldwide. In this study, for the first time, we have examined the occurrence of MPPs and their spatial and seasonal ... -
Seasonal variation, polymer hazard risk and controlling factors of microplastics in beach sediments along the southeast coast of India
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Microplastics (MPs) and its associated organic and inorganic contaminants are one among the significant health hazards to almost all biota, including human. We investigated the polymer hazard risk and its adsorbed contaminants ... -
Short-term behavioural responses to thermal stress by hawksbill turtles in the Arabian region
( Elsevier , 2014 , Article)We present a previously unrecorded short-term behavioural response by hawksbill sea turtles to elevated sea surface temperatures in the Persian/Arabian Gulf. Surface waters typically exceed 30°C for sustained periods during ... -
