Artificial Reefs: A Review [PDF]

The International Journal of Ocean and Climate Systems, 2013
A comprehensive literature review on the material characteristics, design of size and shape, application and management of artificial reef has been carried out. Multipurpose Artificial Surfing Reefs (MPASR) are increasingly being adopted for coastal protection because of several advantages associated with them such as coastal protection by reducing the

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Survey of epiphytic microalgae to evaluate risk of ciguatera fish poisoning across natural and artificial reefs in North Carolina

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Epiphytic microalgae are important contributors to the carbon and nutrient cycles yet are often overlooked during ecological surveys. In reef habitats, epiphytes are often found living on host organisms, including seaweeds or corals, and can influence ...

Observations on fish colonization and predation on two artificial reefs in the Canary Islands

, 2002
Fish populations on two different types of artificial reefs (oceanic and coastal) in the Canary Islands have been studied for several years by means of the Point Count visual census method. A total of 53 species were observed at both reefs.
