Blue carbon ecosystems are important sinks that sequester large amounts of organic in soils over time scales ranging from decades to millennia, offering high potential for climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Cuba is considered as one the world's blue hotspots due its extensive well-preserved mangrove seagrass habitats, well densities found soils. However, quantitative assessments inventories accumulation rates still lacking. This study aimed evaluate stocks sequestration...
This study is the first detailed investigation of microplastics (MPs) ranging from 20 µm to 5 mm in surface waters coral reef ecosystems coast Cuba. A total 72 samples were collected 22 stations during scientific cruise "BOJEO CUBA 2024". The post-sampling treatment was based on enzymatic digestion organic matter and subsequent analysis MPs using laser direct infrared (LDIR) Chemical Imaging Spectroscopy. 2,616 11 types polymers have been identified, with a significant composition...
Nowadays, the studies of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)-related peptide (PRP) and PACAP in non-mammalian vertebrates, especially fish, have paid attention mainly to localization, cloning, structural evolution peptides, but very little is known about its biological functions as growth-promoting factors low vertebrates. In this work, we cloned characterized PRP/PACAP cDNA from commercially important North African catfish Clarias gariepinus. The sequence obtained...
Abstract Spatial and temporal distribution patterns of polychaete assemblages were described in six subtidal sampling stations within Cienfuegos Bay, a Cuban semi-enclosed bay the Caribbean Sea for 4 months (February September 2006, February May 2007). This is strongly polluted due to accumulation organic enrichment heavy metals sediments. Macrofaunal impoverished their highly patchy across months. Molluscs, arthropods echinoderms scarce, but small-size opportunistic species such as Polydora...
Hypoxia is the depletion of dissolved oxygen below 2 mg O2/L. Relatively few studies on hypoxia and its effects benthic macrofauna have been done in tropical marine ecosystems. This study describes temporal response water column, sediments to seasonal a semi-enclosed bay (Cienfuegos, Caribbean Sea). The Calisito site was sampled monthly from June 2010 until February 2012, yielding 21 sampling times. At each event sediment samples were collected for measuring abiotic variables (temperature,...
