Studi Komunitas Rumput Laut pada Berbagai Substrat di Perairan Pantai Permisan Kabupaten Cilacap [PDF]

, 2014
Seaweed naturally grows in substrate of sand, mixing between sand, mud and shell fragments, and also coral. Previous researches stated that there were types of seaweed that able to grow in more than one substrates.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Unravelling the skin of the nurse shark: A morphological description of the placoid scales of Ginglymostoma cirratum

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ginglymostoma cirratum, commonly known as the nurse shark, is a nocturnally active benthic shark, often found in western and eastern Atlantic waters. Although this shark has been well explored in many biological aspects, few studies have thoroughly examined the morphology of its dermal denticles (or placoid scales).

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Two new genera of Laophontidae (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) without sexual dimorphism in the endopods of the swimming legs [PDF]

, 2006
Two new monospecific genera of the harpacticoid family Laophontidae T. Scott, 1905 are described here. Apistophonte wasiniensis gen. et sp. n. was found along the Kenyan coast and Propephonte duangitensis gen. et sp. n.

Male‐territory‐visiting polygamy in the sand‐dwelling goby Fusigobius inframaculatus (Gobiidae) inhabiting reef caves

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We conducted an observational field survey of the innerspotted sandgoby Fusigobius inframaculatus on reefs of Kuchierabu‐jima Island, southern Japan, to investigate its mating system. Individuals of the goby maintained home ranges on sandy bottoms within rocky caves or beneath overhangs that served as shelters. Of 34 identified individuals, 32%

Chronic thermal stress affects growth, liver morphology and molecular responses but allows recovery at optimal temperature in juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐driven aquatic heatwaves pose an increasing threat to fish populations by inducing prolonged thermal stress. However, the resilience of teleosts to chronic heat exposure and their capacity for recovery remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of chronic high‐temperature exposure on juvenile zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Centrifuge shaking table tests on the seismic performance of revetment breakwater on reclaimed coral sand

Applied Ocean Research
Revetment breakwaters on reclaimed coral sand have demonstrated vulnerability to seismic damage during strong earthquakes, wherein soil liquefaction has been identified as a substantial contributor.

Experimental study on coral reef sand as hydraulic filling materials for foundation and its vibroflotation compaction

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
As a special foundation filling material, the coral reef sand has many basic characteristics, such as loose structure, difficult compaction and low bearing capacity, while the practical engineering application is rarely reported up to now.
