Generally unseen and infrequently measured, submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) can transport potentially large loads of nutrients other land-based contaminants to coastal ecosystems. To examine this linkage we employed algal bioassays, benthic community analysis, geochemical methods water quality parameters nearshore reefs adjacent a variety potential, nutrient sources on Maui. Three common reef algae, Acanthophora spicifera, Hypnea musciformis, Ulva spp. were collected and/or deployed at...
Maui, Hawaii, United States. We investigated connections between land uses and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) nutrient fluxes to coastal waters of Hawai'i. Nutrient contributions from agricultural lands, wastewater injection, septic-cesspool systems were examined by combining a numerical model with δOH2O18, δNNO3−15, δONO3−18 modeling identify pathways, recharge elevations, nitrate sources. Fresh total SGD rates quantified using 222Rn mass balance modeling. Low + nitrite (N N) (24...
This paper summarizes the results of a study, which was conducted during period 1996-2005. It assesses impact river diversion (Third River), marsh drainage, and restoration on Kuwait's marine environment. The indicated lower salinity, higher nitrate concentration, chlorophyll-a, sedimentation in northern waters Kuwait influenced by discharge man-made Third River drainage. Five estuarine copepod species, occur only due to their proximity mouth river, are reported here for first time. Lower...
A non-ovigerous female mitten crab captured in Iraq on the 20th June 2005 was initially identified as Eriocheir sinensis H. Milne Edwards, 1853.More material has now been made available from and Kuwait these specimens were compared with extant type series of E. hepuensis Dai, 1991.From this morphological study Persian Gulf Hepu crab, hepuensis.This is first report species outside its native range southern China.However, because taxonomy systematics requires further clarification especially...
Equations expressing total width-weight relationships of blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun (Decapoda: Portunidae), from the Ashley River, South Carolina, were calculated for each sex in relation to molt stage and intermolt (Stage C) crabs maturity carapace form. Sex, maturity, sign, form significantly affected relationships. Overall, males heavier than females equal width. Mature weighed more similar-sized immature males; contrast, mature less size. Crabs with short lateral spines...
Abstract Over the past 200 years of written records, Hawaiian Islands have experienced tens tsunamis generated by earthquakes in subduction zones Pacific ‘Ring Fire’ (for example, Alaska–Aleutian, Kuril–Kamchatka, Chile and Japan). Mapping dating anomalous beds sand silt deposited low‐lying areas along coasts, even those distant from zones, is critical for assessing tsunami hazard throughout basin. This study searched evidence inundation using stratigraphic sedimentological analyses...
1. Shrimp activity was inversely related to the amount of light exposure.2. responded a 12-hour photophase white and UV-light in similar manner. The light-dark transition is apparently Zeitgeber, burying rhythm can be readily changed with change transition.3. A circadian found for shrimp kept continuous light; no darkness or UV-light.4. Evidence obtained support lunar influence, Group V being more active during new first-quarter moon.5. Burying between first last four weeks experiment...
Mark-recapture experiments conducted in a small 17.5 ha lake Barataria Bay, Louisiana, were used to estimate the efficiency of 4.9-m (16-foot) otter trawl capturing brown shrimp, Atlantic croaker, and spot water 1.5 m deep. The was observed sweep an area 2.5 width. Trawl determined be approximately one-third one-half for one-fourth only 6 percent spot.
Abstract Shrimp (Penaeus semisulcatus) length-frequency data collected from the coastal waters of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar during a 23-month study 1999 to 2001 were analyzed estimate parameters von Bertalanffy growth equation. All curves show strong seasonal oscillation difference in size between males females. The estimates l∞ exhibit southward decreasing trend with increasing temperature salinity. A single variable annual mean explains 94 81% variations for females,...
The intertidal migrations of shallow water fishes in Kuwait Bay were studied during two 24 h periods using an otter trawl. Most species wereconcentrated at a location corresponding to Low Water mark. At the other tidal levels some migrated with tide High mark through horizontal distance up 2 km. Any effect day and night on catch was masked by condition. Leiognarhus decorus (de Vis) typically concentrated but proportion population followed rising toward shore. There die1 whichmay have been...
Abstract Quantitative observations were recorded on air breathing marine vertebrates in the immediate vicinity of Boubyan Island from 17 February 2004 through 1 March 2005. In 398 hours observation time during daylight, we made 159 sightings Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins (Sousa chinensis) for a combined total 524 individuals. We also 38 individual seasnake (Hydrophis spp.) sightings. No turtles observed study period. Pod size dolphins ranged one to at least 30. Of sightings, 40% was...
Kuwait's fisheries include shrimp trawlers, gill nets, intertidal stake and demersal fish traps, known locally as gargoor. The gargoor fishery used to be the nation's most important in terms of value landings volume, but declines catch rates have reduced its ranking. This paper describes status artisanal fishery. main place was sampled for effort, length-frequency data from May 2003 December 2005. rate, monthly average number boats operating, cleared were estimated dhow fishing waters...
