Raising Awareness about the Consequences of Human Activities on Natural Environments through Multisensory Augmented Reality: Amazon Rainforest and Coral Reef Interactive Experiences [PDF]
Computer-Aided Design and Applications, 2020 Cultural and educational institutions have been subjected to important changes in the approach they use to involve the public in the last years. For example, museums are more and more playing a pedagogical role, referring not only to exhibitions of pieces of art, but also to exhibitions concerning current topics in cultural and social affairs ...

Surveying cephalopod diversity of the Amazon reef system using samples from red snapper stomachs and description of a new genus and species of octopus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractThe cephalopod fauna of the southwestern Atlantic is especially poorly-known because sampling is mostly limited to commercial net-fishing operations that are relatively inefficient at obtaining cephalopods associated with complex benthic substrates.

Zootaxa, 2021 The reef system off the Amazon River mouth extends from Amapá state to Maranhão state along the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, encompassing more than 10,000 km2 of rhodolith beds and high-relief hard structures on the outer shelf and upper slope. This unique hard bottom mosaic is remarkable for being influenced by the turbid and hyposaline plume from the

Environmental Smoke, 2023 The isopod Rocinela signata Schioedte & Meinert, 1879 (Aegidae) is largely recorded in literature as ectoparasites of marine fishes; however, the full list of hosts is still far from complete. We report the occurrence of R. signata as ectoparasite from a new host: Lutjanus purpureus (Poey, 1866), an important fishery resource in the northern region

ACTA OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESSOURCES, 2022 New records of 13 red lionfish Pterois volitans (Linnaeus, 1758) collected in 2021 in commercial fisheries for lobster Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) and snapper Lutjanus purpureus (Poey, 1866) in the Great Amazon Reef System. We provide information about the first occurrence in the Amazon continental shelf in Pará State, depth, target fishery ...

Record of the rare Caribbean mud eel, Pythonichthys sanguineus (Heterenchelyidae, Anguilliformes), in the region of the Amazon Reef [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2019 ABSTRACT As they spend most of their time buried in the substrate and are not a fishery resource, heterenchelyids are seldom seen. These eels are characterized by their greatly reduced eyes, which are covered by semi-transparent skin, the absence of a pectoral fin or lateral line, and no pores on the head or body.

OceanSODA-UNEXE: a multi-year gridded Amazon and Congo River outflow surface ocean carbonate system dataset [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Large rivers play an important role in transferring water and all of its constituents, including carbon in its various forms, from the land to the ocean, but the seasonal and inter-annual variations in these riverine flows remain unclear. Satellite Earth

Lionfish on the loose: Pterois invade shallow habitats in the tropical southwestern Atlantic
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Lionfish (Pterois spp.) evolved in the Indo-Pacific with predators and prey and invaded regions (e.g., the Caribbean Sea and Mediterranean) where no such balance yet exists.

Fisheries Oceanography, 2014 AbstractDuring April to June 2009, a large bolus of Amazon River water impacted the northeastern Caribbean Sea. Shipboard observations collected near Saba Bank, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and the Anegada Passage showed low surface salinity (35.76 ± 0.05 Practical Salinity Unit (PSU)), elevated surface temperature (26.77 ± 0.14°C), high ...
