Intraseasonal Variability of Sea Surface Temperature in the Sea of Oman and the Arabian Sea: Argo Study

Global Oceans 2020: Singapore – U.S. Gulf Coast, 2020
Sea surface temperature (SST) is a critical oceanic parameter used in most of the statistical and dynamic prediction models. In association with monsoon cycle, the SST exhibits large variability in the northwestern Indian Ocean both in space and time. The present study investigates the intraseasonal variability of SST influenced by the monsoon cycle in

High salinity events in the northern Arabian Sea and Sea of Oman

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2013
Abstract Moored observations in the northern Arabian Sea (NAS) show substantial velocity, temperature and dissolved oxygen fluctuations, accompanied by episodic high salinity intrusions with maximum values ≥ 37.3 on time scales of 2–10 days after the passage of Cyclone Gonu in 2007.

Biomass distribution and pattern of myctophids in the Oman Sea

2005
In conformity with programming to harvest from virgin resources of Myctophids (Benthosema pterotum) in the Oman Sea (Iranian waters), a series of research cruises and trial fishing were carried out from 1992 to 1998. Assessment of B. pterotum stocks was carried out using the data obtained from a series of seven cruises conducted by R/V Ferdows1 in the ...

Marine litter and microplastic pollution in mangrove sediments in the Sea of Oman

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Marine litter and microplastic pollution in mangroves pose significant threats. This study of litter in Omani mangroves revealed an average density of 0.83 to 21.92 items/m2. Quriyat lagoon emerged as the most contaminated area, hosting 133 items/m2, while Qurum Natural Reserve lagoon showed the least contamination at 10 items/m2.

Secondary Microplastic Ingestion by Planktivorous Fishes in the Sea of Oman

2021
The plastic debris in the aquatic environment represents a major challenge to scientist, environmentalists and managers. The problem large marine animals face is clear and can be seen in the entanglement by the fishing net, but an inadequate information is available on the effect of plastic on the lower groups of marine organisms.

Catch per unit area of Batoid fishes in the Northern Oman Sea

2014
We report on results of a trawl survey to assess the abundance of Batoid fish resources in the Oman Sea. The catch per unit area CPUA as the main index was estimated. The objectives of this study were to determine the catch composition and distribution pattern of Batoid fishes in the study area and in different depth strata of the Oman Sea.A total of ...
